About

As the VP of Global Talent Acquisition at Adobe, I lead a world-class team that attracts and hires the best talent for one of the most innovative and creative companies on the planet. With over 10 years of experience in global talent acquisition and HR, I have a proven track record of building and scaling diverse and inclusive teams across multiple geographies and functions. I am passionate about talent as the most critical asset of any organization, and I strive to create a culture of excellence, collaboration, and empowerment for our talent community. My expertise in recruiting, talent strategy, employer branding, and analytics enables me to deliver impactful results and drive business growth. I also have a strong background in entrepreneurship and finance, which helps me understand the market dynamics and opportunities for Adobe. Additionally, I am honored to serve as a board member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Alaska and Washington, an organization that has a special meaning for me as a former wish recipient.
