MalaysiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Talent Acquisition and People leader with 10+ years of experience building teams across Southeast Asia, APAC, ANZ, North America and LATAM. My background spans both strategic and hands-on recruitment, from executive and niche hiring to designing scalable talent processes, dashboards, salary benchmarks, interview frameworks and employer branding initiatives.
I’ve partnered closely with C-suite leaders and hiring managers in fast-paced, high-growth environments, particularly across fintech and technology. Some of the roles I’ve supported include Country Managers, Compliance leaders and other hard-to-fill specialist and leadership positions across multiple markets.
Beyond recruitment, I’m interested in the broader People agenda, including employee experience, learning and development, workforce planning, performance management and using AI and automation to make HR more efficient and impactful.
I’m at my best in environments that value trust, autonomy, collaboration and thoughtful decision-making. I enjoy solving difficult hiring challenges, improving how teams work, and helping businesses find and retain the people they need to grow.
