About

I believe that talent strategy is about shared ownership and building the conditions where great hiring can actually happen. That’s the work I do, and the work I love. • Educating executives to examine compensation, internal vs. external equity, and adjust their strategy accordingly • Coaching senior engineering leaders to own their recruitment process and partner effectively with their TA teams, not to treat hiring like order fulfillment • Identifying and fixing operational inefficiencies: reducing excessive interviewing, building a targeted sourcing function, and increasing recruiter capacity by offloading administrative coordination • Strengthening feedback loops by helping hiring managers, recruiters, coordinators, and sourcing build trust and collaborative communication • Helping managers articulate their team’s true value proposition — and align it with the company’s employer brand • Ensuring global compliance and hiring practices to reduce corporate risk • Improving offer acceptance rates by training managers to understand real candidate motivations and speak directly to them.
