About

As a recruiter with over 11 years of experience, I’ve learned that hiring isn’t just about filling roles it’s about shaping teams, driving business outcomes, and building careers. At HCL Software, I lead recruitment for enterprise software sales across Europe, with additional experience supporting hiring in the Middle East, Africa, India, and the US. I work closely with business leaders to understand their goals, anticipate needs, and bring in talent that doesn’t just meet requirements but delivers real impact. Beyond day-to-day recruiting, I enjoy being part of someone’s learning curve and contributing to a stronger, more capable hiring ecosystem. Mentoring, sharing best practices, and elevating the quality of recruitment is something I genuinely value. I thrive in high-growth, high-stakes environments where timelines are tight, expectations are high, and outcomes matter. Whether it’s finding the right fit for a niche role or helping shape a go-to-market hiring strategy, I bring energy, structure, and ownership to every search. Let’s connect if you're passionate about impactful hiring, thoughtful leadership, or navigating the evolving world of enterprise tech. Always open to sharing ideas, learning from peers, and exploring new opportunities to collaborate.
