About

With over 15 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, I specialize in building high-performing teams and driving recruitment strategies that align with business growth. As a Senior TA Manager, I lead end-to-end hiring operations across diverse functions — from workforce planning and sourcing strategy to stakeholder management and candidate experience. I’m passionate about creating scalable and data-driven recruitment frameworks that improve hiring quality, reduce time-to-fill, and enhance the overall candidate journey. I partner closely with business and HR leaders to anticipate hiring needs, leverage talent market insights, and strengthen the organization’s talent brand. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully led teams of recruiters, implemented process improvements, and delivered measurable outcomes in fast-paced, dynamic environments. My focus has always been on balancing operational excellence with a human-centric approach to hiring. I believe great teams are built through collaboration, consistency, and a clear understanding of business priorities — and that’s what drives me every day in talent acquisition.
