About

For more than a decade, I've been engaged in building careers and scaling tech teams. My role is to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. I love to network & engage with talented and ambitious candidates and connect them with the right set of opportunities they deserve ensuring awesome experience throughout the process. For the most part of my career, I've been engaged in hiring for technology requirements in top product companies and startups. I have experience in setting up the TA function from scratch, defining TA strategy and roadmap, hiring and training high-performance teams, and managing sourcing efforts across a wide variety of technical roles. In my previous role, I led Talent Acquisition for Quizizz which is the 5th largest Edtech platform globally.
