About

As a Senior Manager – Talent Acquisition at Optum (UnitedHealth Group), I lead strategic hiring initiatives that power one of the world’s largest healthcare organizations. With over 20 years of experience in talent acquisition, I specialize in building high-performing recruitment teams, optimizing sourcing strategies, and aligning talent goals with business outcomes across Healthcare, Retail, and BPM sectors. My expertise spans end-to-end recruitment operations—from volume hiring to leadership roles—across diverse functions such as Shared Services, Analytics, Finance, Technology, and Clinical Operations. I’ve successfully led large-scale hiring projects, implemented HRIS platforms (Taleo, Workday, Alt Recruit), and driven cost-effective sourcing through direct channels and employee referrals. I’m passionate about transforming recruitment into a strategic business enabler. Whether it’s reducing time-to-hire, enhancing employer branding, or delivering data-driven insights through dashboards, I bring a proactive, people-first approach to every challenge. I’m also a LinkedIn Recruiter Certified professional, committed to creating meaningful connections and building a healthier world—one hire at a time.
