About

With over 18 years of experience in talent acquisition and management, I am a seasoned leader who can design and implement effective recruitment strategies for global technology companies. I have successfully built and led high-performing teams across diverse domains, such as cloud, big data, e-commerce, and open source. Most recently, I was the Talent Leader at Hasura, a venture-backed open-source company that makes data instantly accessible over a real-time GraphQL API. There, I was responsible for overseeing all aspects of talent acquisition and retention, from sourcing and screening to hiring and onboarding. I partnered with the leadership and the engineering teams to understand their needs and align them with the best talent in the market. I also established and optimized the recruitment processes and policies, ensuring a smooth and positive candidate experience.
