About

I specialise in AI recruitment 🤖, helping businesses across the UK and USA build high-performing teams that turn artificial intelligence ambitions into reality. From start-ups experimenting with AI to large enterprises scaling initiatives, I connect companies with top-tier talent, from machine learning engineers and data scientists to AI product managers, NLP specialists, and MLOps professionals. Previously, I led the cloud delivery offering ☁️ at BSQ, managing teams and talent strategies across AWS, Azure, and GCP ecosystems. That experience taught me how to translate complex technology needs into actionable hiring strategies, a skill I now bring to the AI space. Outside of work, I volunteer with Age UK, supporting seniors with digital adoption and community engagement. Combining a passion for technology recruitment with a commitment to social impact, I strive to create opportunities that bridge skill gaps and empower both businesses and individuals.
