About

I’m a people-first HR and Talent leader with a player + coach mentality, hands-on when needed, strategic when it matters most. With over a decade of experience across E-commerce, Mobility, EV, SaaS, Fintech, and Transportation, I’ve helped organizations scale from stealth to Series A, Series A to Series B, and even through a billion-dollar Walmart acquisition. Having worked across USA, North America, LATAM, and Asia, I bring a global perspective to building teams and culture. I’ve partnered with visionary investors like Greylock Partners and Magna International, leading people strategies in high-growth, product-driven environments. As an entrepreneur and operator, I’ve built HR and TA functions from the ground up, setting up scalable processes, playbooks, and culture frameworks that enable organizations to hire smarter and grow faster. My focus is on balancing strategy with execution, building inclusive, high-performing teams while fostering leadership growth and operational excellence. Expertise: Talent Strategy | HR Operations | Leadership Development | Employer Branding | Compensation & Benefits | Employee Engagement | Culture Building | Performance Management | Executive Search | HRIS & ATS Implementation Grounded in strong knowledge of the Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA) and Human Rights Code, I aim to create workplaces that are compliant, equitable, and inspiring. #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #Leadership #EmployerBranding #DiversityandInclusion #Onboarding #TalentManagement #CareerAdvice
