• As the point of contact for Support and G&A hiring, I played a key role in ramping up critical teams by partnering closely with business stakeholders and hiring managers. I led strategic ramp-ups, built hiring plans aligned with business growth, and mentored new recruiters to enable them to deliver effectively. A strong believer in collaboration and proactive communication, I worked hand-in-hand with cross-functional teams to create efficient, high-quality hiring processes.
• Alongside execution, I also focused on surfacing challenges effectively and driving their resolution. I highlighted hiring roadblocks early, drove clear communication around these challenges, and ensured that their impact was backed by data, providing leadership with a realistic view of hiring dynamics which in turn facilitated timely decisions and escalation with respect to challenges faced.
• Beyond core support hiring, I also contributed to IT and select marketing roles, adopting a flexible, solutions-oriented approach to meet business needs.

• This role gave me the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, combining strategic communication with execution excellence, and making a tangible impact on how teams were built and scaled in APAC.
