What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a talent acquisition and human resources professional with over 10 years of experience in sourcing top-quality candidates for specialized roles. My expertise lies in automating processes to drive efficiency and developing impactful strategies that align with business needs. I have successfully led high-performing teams and driven significant revenue growth, exemplified by my leadership at OpExpert, where I spearheaded the company's development from conception to profitability, achieving an impressive 50% to 75% year-over-year growth.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with over 200 startups, providing tailored recruiting strategies that support their growth from seed to Series E phases. My role at 6sense involved overseeing full lifecycle recruitment for a Series E startup valued at $5 billion, where I optimized recruiting processes and implemented innovative solutions to enhance efficiency. I pride myself on being a subject matter expert in HR and recruiting, sought after for my ability to build trust-based relationships and advise on best practices.
