What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in talent acquisition and people operations, ideally in a dynamic and innovative environment that values diversity and inclusion.

I am a strategic and hands-on Talent & People leader with over 20 years of experience in scaling recruiting functions at high-growth startups and global tech companies. My proven ability to build from zero-to-one and lead end-to-end talent acquisition and people strategies has made me a trusted partner to founders and executive teams. I am passionate about creating exceptional candidate and employee experiences, ensuring that talent aligns with business outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built talent strategies that support rapid growth, such as scaling a team from 10 to over 50 employees in under nine months at Maven AGI. I have led global recruiting efforts at Instawork, where I scaled a 23+ person talent acquisition organization and hired 120 sales employees in just four months. My experience includes managing talent acquisition teams across various functions, implementing DEIB initiatives, and optimizing hiring processes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
