About

I help companies find the right people, the kind who don’t just fill a role but actually make a difference. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked across technology, engineering, real estate, retail, and FMCG, leading end-to-end recruitment for everything from high-volume hiring to senior leadership searches. My experience spans the GCC and Asia, where I’ve helped businesses scale, build new teams, and strengthen their hiring foundations. I enjoy understanding how each business works, what kind of people thrive there, and how to create hiring strategies that make sense for the long term. Whether it’s designing better recruitment processes, leading nationalisation programs, or finding rare talent in competitive markets, I like solving real problems and making hiring feel less transactional and more meaningful. At the core of it, I love connecting people to opportunities that help them grow and helping organizations build teams that last.
