About

I'm an engineer turned recruiter! I've spent the last decade working with a lot of smart people and some very cool companies. I've mostly worked with Seed-Series D start-ups and love the opportunity to be scrappy and wear a lot of different hats! Currently, I'm interested in all things AI :) When I'm not working, you'll find me outdoors playing badminton, padel, tennis or hiking :) My focus areas: Engineering Product Growth Marketing Sales/Solutions Engineering Talent
