About

Building teams that build the future | Tech & Product Hiring | Leadership Talent Partner | DEI & Employer Branding Advocate. I have always believed that the right person in the right role can change everything - a product, a team, even a company’s story. With over a decade of experience in Talent Acquisition, I have been helping organizations from ambitious startups chasing their first big milestone to global enterprises redefining how they hire and scale find the right people who drive meaningful growth. Today at Maersk Technology, I partner with leaders across the world to shape teams in Software, AI/ML, and Product, blending business goals with people strategy. My approach? Data when it matters, empathy always. Whether its building talent pipelines from scratch, driving diversity hiring, or crafting a standout employer brand, I love the challenge of making hiring smarter, faster, and more human. Let’s connect to talk talent, tech, or just what it takes to build something meaningful together.
