About

Having worked for some of the biggest beauty, retail, media, technology and travel organisations, I am passionate about people and bringing the best talent to the teams I partner with. With global scope, I thrive in a varied, ever-changing and dynamic environment. My stakeholder management is one of my strengths, building credibility quickly and using it to effectively execute the recruitment needs of the business globally. Candidate experience is also key to me and I want future Charlotte Tilbury's employees to benefit from this. Working in Charlotte Tilbury's top class talent acquisition team constantly pushes me to learn, develop and of course have fun!
