About

I am a Singaporean who grew up moving between both Singapore & Egypt. That allowed me to build a keen interest in traveling, meeting new people and learning/adapting to new cultures. Fast forward many years later, I am still insanely passionate about meeting new people and learning about them and their passions. This led me to the exciting world of Talent Acquisition where meeting and helping people professionally seemed to be a right fit. I am a globally experienced bilingual (English/ Arabic) Talent Acquisition Leader who has built experience across agency and in-house setups. I worked with a diverse set of companies both at startup level and big tech organisation to help them hire hard to find talent across technology and business across several continents. Area of Specialisation: - ⭐️ Recruitment in the Fintech, Financial Services, Banking, Trading (Stocks and Crypto), Payments across Product, Engineering and Design roles of all seniority levels in APAC/SEA (Singapore) and MENA. ⭐️ Technical Recruitment across all levels of seniority from C-level (Leadership Hiring) to Fresh graduates in functions such as Software Engineering, Product Management, Data Analytics, Design, CyberSecurity and Technical Support ⭐️ Business Recruitment across all levels of seniority from Director level to Junior level experts across Marketing, Finance, Risk, Fraud, Compliance & Regulatory, Growth and Strategy. ⭐️ Building Talent Acquisition Infrastructure from the ground up to ensure a smooth and fairly automated & data-centric recruitment process. Integrating tools such as ATS (Greenhouse, Lever), AI Sourcing tools, CRM tools and Data analytics among others. ⭐️ Talent Advisory & Strategic recruitment planning with internal stakeholders to ensure the continuous success of teams across the organisation. Ensuring top stakeholder management giving confidence & assurance on the hiring success for each team. ⭐️ Managing and mentoring of Talent Acquisition teams to ensure effective contribution to the company's hiring goals. ⭐️ Effectively building employer branding and championing the company to candidates and ensuring a great candidate experience through every step in the recruitment journey. ⭐️ Scaling teams across various geographical locations as on-site or remote based talents. Away from work I really enjoy travelling with my family and food hunting around the world. I have been to over 40 countries with an aim to visiting alot more. Excited to connect with like minded professionals in the tech space and share expertise on Talent Acquisition space.
