What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior talent acquisition role where I can lead technical and executive recruiting, drive workforce strategy, deploy AI-enabled sourcing, and partner with leadership to optimize costs and diversity.

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition leader with 20 years of progressive experience building and scaling high-performing technical and executive teams across technology, transportation, healthcare, and global supply chain sectors. I have a proven track record reducing time-to-fill by 50% and delivering $6.48M+ in annual labor cost savings via contractor-to-FTE conversion and workforce optimization.

I partner with C-suite leadership on workforce planning, organizational design, and talent market intelligence while deploying AI-augmented sourcing and process automation to improve recruiting efficiency and alignment. I champion DEI hiring strategies, manage vendor/MSP ecosystems, and have led high-volume recruiting operations and revenue-generating talent solutions across enterprise environments.
