My DEI certification and expertise in developing and executing recruitment strategies have allowed me to transform recruitment teams into strategic talent partners, enhancing employer branding and driving diversity-based hiring initiatives.

Currently, I lead Talent Acquisition teams across multiple countries, focusing on reducing time-to-hire and building diverse talent pipelines. My experience includes collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve recruiting efficiency and leveraging advanced recruitment technologies. I am committed to data-driven decision-making and ensuring a superior candidate experience, which I believe is crucial for attracting top talent.
