I lead global technical hiring teams that scale engineering, AI/ML, and high-growth organizations.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At Generac Power Systems, I lead talent acquisition strategy across six global regions, aligning workforce priorities with business needs and building the company’s first dedicated sourcing function. My team hired 270 employees in 18 months while keeping third-party agency use below 5% and reducing application-to-close time by 40%.
Previously at ecobee, I progressed from Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to Manager, scaling technical and business hiring as the company grew from roughly 400 to 600 employees. I’ve built AI/ML capability, filled senior engineering and leadership roles quickly, and developed recruiters and sourcers through practical coaching, data-driven recruiting operations, and stronger candidate experiences.
