About

I am a strategic and results-driven Global Talent Acquisition Leader with over 9 years of experience transforming hiring functions across Legal, BFSI, Healthcare, Insurance, Lifesciences, IT and Technology sectors. My career has been built at the intersection of business strategy, people enablement, and talent intelligence, where I partner with leaders to build scalable recruitment practices and high-performing teams. Over the years, I’ve led hiring initiatives across India, the United States and Canada, with a strong focus on niche, senior-level, and leadership hiring. I’m passionate about creating recruitment models that are data-driven, candidate-centric, and aligned with long-term business objectives. My strengths include stakeholder partnering, TA operations, vendor governance, executive search, RPO delivery, and recruitment process optimization. I leverage a proactive approach to sourcing and make use of technology, automation, and market insights to accelerate hiring quality and speed. What drives me most is the opportunity to connect exceptional talent with meaningful work — while continuously improving how organizations attract and retain the right people.
