About

With over 15 years of experience in talent acquisition, I am passionate about partnering with business leaders and hiring managers to strategize and execute their hiring needs. I have been instrumental in setting up and expanding teams across various skills and domains, including engineering, supply chain, artificial intelligence, and mixed reality. Currently, I am a Talent Acquisition Partner at Microsoft, where I work with the 'Commerce & Ecosystem' and the 'Cloud Supply Chain' teams to attract and retain top talent for the company. I am also involved in driving key initiatives such as talent mix, candidate experience, diversity and inclusion, and data insights. I enjoy working in a fast-paced and agile environment, where I can leverage my skills in employee relations, vendor management, and innovative sourcing.
