About

My mission? To have connected the right talent with the right opportunity—every time. Driving Talent Excellence for Over a Decade | Specialist in Building High-Impact SaaS Product Teams With over 10 years of expertise in recruitment, I had built a proven track record in scaling world-class SaaS engineering, DevOps, and cross-functional teams. I had led high-performing, lean recruitment squads—coordinating seamlessly across stakeholders to deliver top-tier talent at speed and scale. From securing leadership talent (Director & Sr. Director level) to orchestrating surge hiring campaigns, I had excelled in strategic workforce planning, flawless execution, and talent market intelligence. My versatility had extended across tech and non-tech domains—engineering, customer success, tech support, and sales—making me a go-to talent partner for diverse hiring needs. I had spearheaded internship and campus recruitment programs targeting tier-2 engineering schools in India for three consecutive years at Zebra Technologies, and for the very first time in Planview’s history. Recognized for my exceptional interpersonal skills and influential stakeholder management, I had not just been a recruiter—I had been a talent strategist and coach who uplifted teams and shaped hiring excellence. Passionate! Resourceful! Results-Driven!
