What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in talent acquisition while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am a People & Operations leader with 10+ years of experience helping technology companies scale globally. I specialize in building recruitment and organizational systems that support fast growth, from early-stage startups to international teams operating across EMEA, US, LATAM, and APAC.

My experience includes scaling companies during hypergrowth (50 to 2500+ employees), building HR functions from scratch, and implementing data-driven hiring processes. I have worked with startups in AI, robotics, SaaS, and deep tech, helping them design talent strategies, build engineering teams, and optimize hiring operations.
