What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead full-cycle recruiting, build scalable hiring processes, mentor teams, and use data-driven sourcing (including AI) to hire across technical and business functions.

I am a seasoned senior recruiter with extensive experience building and scaling US recruiting functions across startups and established companies. I specialize in full-cycle recruiting, creating candidate pipelines, and partnering with hiring managers to deliver top talent.

Throughout my career I have hired across GTM, Product, Engineering, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Customer Success, Sales and G&A functions, and I have established recruiting processes and metrics to measure success. I leverage diverse sourcing techniques including AI tools, Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, niche job boards and referrals.

I have built teams and offices, driven ATS best practices (including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS and others), and consistently delivered hires at all levels from individual contributors to leadership. I bring a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to recruitment and talent strategy.

I am collaborative, results-oriented, and focused on designing hiring processes that scale while improving candidate experience and time-to-hire. I look for roles where I can lead recruiting initiatives, mentor teams, and contribute to company growth.
