About

A seasoned headhunter with a decade long experience in talent hunting and human resources. I am now an entrepreneur, and have set up HRS Talents - a specialized talent firm in areas of Technology Transformation and Cybersecurity, providing Executive Recruitment of Senior Position Hires as well as Career Consultancy and Coaching. I am also an active crew member of Division Zero (Div0), helping to promote an open and inclusive cybersecurity community for all professionals and practitioners. I am also a Mentor at ICE71, Asia's leading Cybersecurity Innovation Hub for early-stage cyber startups looking to scale. Prior, I headed up and grew the Technology recruiting practice in RobertHalf, billing more than a million dollars, and am now working on my next adventure - marrying my love for Cybersecurity and Recruitment.
