About

I am not just a recruiter, I have worn multiple hats: tech recruiter, talent manager, mentor, project manager, marketer, podcaster, and so much more. After traveling to more than 40 countries across the globe, I find myself saying that I understand the importance of diversity in the workplace. I specialize in helping software engineering and cloud teams flourish by connecting exceptional talent with groundbreaking opportunities. I love to leverage data to guide decisions to constantly improve the recruitment experience for hiring managers and candidates by optimizing recruitment strategies. Sharing knowledge is in my DNA, and this passion led me to the stage as a speaker at SOSUEU and TOMAS events in Amsterdam in 2022. From objective hiring standards to fostering diversity in tech, I have started and succeeded in multiple projects. With a dream to motivate others to explore the cloud world, I started a podcast with my colleagues at Xebia to learn more about the authorities in the cloud and to share their journeys with the viewers. I am more of a masala chai girl, but if you would like to talk a bit about recruitment strategy over a cup of coffee, drop me a message!
