About

With 12+ years of experience leading Recruitment and People Operations, I’m still as passionate as ever! My focus is on startups—whether it’s improving processes, scaling teams, coaching, or building everything from scratch. I strongly believe recruitment, people operations, and leadership should always go hand in hand. Everything starts with hiring, and for me, it isn't just about "closing a role." It's about the journey and building relationships along the journey. It is about bringing the right people who share a similar vision and mission and, more importantly, share the same values. The values enable the company to build strong relationships throughout the company and strengthen the feeling of togetherness. Make hiring based on values rather than on the culture fit. I enjoy contributing by making this a reality. 👆 Remember, you're already ahead if you know how to bring in the right talents.
