About

20+ years of experience. Recruiting is more than just a job for me - it's a passion. Over the years, I've honed my skills in all aspects of recruiting - from sourcing and interviewing candidates to negotiating offers and closing deals. I've also developed a deep understanding of the importance of building solid relationships with candidates and hiring managers, and I'm proud of the many successful partnerships I've formed. One of the things that I love about recruiting is the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds and skill sets. I've had the pleasure of working with incredibly talented individuals who have inspired me to push myself to be the best recruiter. As the recruiting landscape continues to evolve, I'm committed to staying on top of the latest trends and techniques to ensure that I'm always delivering the best possible results for company. Whether it's leveraging the latest technology or developing innovative sourcing strategies, I'm always looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve.

Experience

Cohesity

Director of Talent Acquisition - R&D, G&A and Customer Experience

Apr 2018 – Present · 7 yrs 11 mos · San Jose, California

As a Global Talent Acquisition Leader and Principal Recruiter at Cohesity, I have been instrumental in building our world-class engineering team. Joining the company in its early stages as only the second R&D recruiter, I embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, driven by Cohesity's compelling vision and the confidence that we could attract top-tier talent.
Throughout my tenure, I've had the honor of collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the industry, successfully hiring exceptional engineers and leaders who have significantly contributed to our company's growth and success. It has been immensely rewarding to witness their impact and see them flourish within our organization.
From our beginnings as a 400-employee company to our current strength of over 2500, I am proud to have been part of this incredible journey, navigating through Series B to Series E funding rounds. Our engineering team has been pivotal to our success, and I'm proud of the role that I've played in building it
Reflecting on my experience, I am grateful for the opportunity to have joined Cohesity at such a formative stage and to have contributed to its remarkable growth.
If you are a talented engineer eager to work on cutting-edge technology and be part of a world-class team, I would love to connect with you. Let's talk!
