About

Global Talent Acquisition & People Strategy leader with 15+ years’ experience supporting VCs, incubators, venture studios and high-growth portfolio companies across tech, prop-tech, fintech, e-commerce, logistics and digital-first sectors. I work with investors and founders at critical stages of growth — from founding team and leadership selection to advisory board creation, workforce planning, org design and people strategy. My focus is helping startups build the right teams early, and supporting portfolio companies with senior TA and People leadership as they scale. Through START MEA, I provide startup advisory, executive search and fractional HR/TA leadership, partnering closely with VCs and incubators to strengthen talent foundations, reduce hiring risk and accelerate execution across portfolios. Alongside advisory work, I’ve led global TA functions in fast-growth environments across the GCC, Europe, Africa, LATAM and Asia, hiring across both professional and blue-collar populations and working directly with C-suite and boards on culture, capability and succession.
