About

Passionate about talent acquisition, I bring 15 years of experience in driving hiring success across diverse and complex business lines. Over the past nine years at HSBC, I have led high-performing teams, managed large-scale hiring programs, and played a strategic role in shaping recruitment strategies for specialist functions such as Investment Banking, Analytics, Risk & Compliance, and Human Resources. Previously, I was the Country Recruitment Head for these business lines. In my current role, I drive TA excellence across seven countries. My focus spans Global Service Centers and Technology Centers, where I lead key initiatives in recruitment technology, process improvement, strategic workforce planning, candidate experience enhancement, and employer branding. I thrive on solving complex hiring challenges, implementing innovative recruitment solutions, and optimizing processes to create an efficient, data-driven, and future-ready TA function.
