About

I hire across the board: Engineering, Product, Design, and Non-Tech, and love building teams that don’t just grow headcount, but move the needle. Over the years, I’ve led high-velocity hiring sprints, built pilot teams from scratch, and helped companies break into new markets, all while ensuring great candidate experience. I also work on projects in Employer Branding and HR Systems, because I genuinely enjoy making hiring smarter, smoother, and more human. I’m passionate about scaling recruiting engines that actually scale and enjoy helping people find roles that unlock their potential (not just fill a seat). Outside of work, I have a keen interest in startups, public markets, tech trends, geopolitics, business strategy, and everything shaping the future of work.
