What I'm looking for

I seek a results-driven recruitment or business development role where I can leverage cross-cultural communication, multilingual skills, and full-cycle hiring to drive revenue and build long-term client relationships.

I am a seasoned recruitment consultant and business development professional with a Ph.D. in International Relations, who transformed academic insight into commercial recruitment expertise across international markets.

I have driven measurable revenue growth and top placement rates for agencies, led full-cycle recruitment, executed strategic outbound campaigns, managed complex negotiations, and used advanced CRM systems to track candidates and clients.

Previously I delivered sales and customer-support leadership in IT and financial technology, improved client satisfaction and retention, and taught political science and international relations at university level—bringing strong cross-cultural communication and multilingual fluency to talent acquisition roles.
