What I'm looking for

I seek a senior talent acquisition or people operations role where I can drive strategic hiring, improve recruitment metrics, build talent pipelines, and support inclusive growth within mission-driven teams.

I am a senior recruitment consultant with over six years' experience placing talent across FinTech, EdTech, manufacturing and consulting sectors. I design and implement targeted recruitment strategies that reduce time-to-fill and improve candidate quality.

I have led large-scale projects—such as MNH and GAVI-funded enumerations and immunization studies—and hired cross-border country hub leads across sub-Saharan Africa, demonstrating strength in high-volume and mission-driven hiring.

At organizations including Ace Strategy, African Leadership University and Krones West Africa, I implemented ATS solutions, talent pipelines with universities, and employer-branding initiatives that cut time-to-hire, increased qualified applicants and improved retention.

I bring a data-informed, candidate-centric approach to hiring, a track record of diversity and inclusion results, and experience managing end-to-end recruitment, HRIS, ERP integrations and employee relations initiatives to support organizational growth.
