About

👋 Talent leader with 15+ years scaling high-growth teams and people systems in startup, SaaS, and enterprise environments. I’ve built from the ground up, restructured during pivots, and helped global orgs align culture with execution when it mattered most. At my core, I’m a builder of hiring systems and talent pipelines that actually scale. I’ve partnered with founders, C-level execs, and business leaders to set up recruiting frameworks, interview processes, and data-driven hiring practices that make it easy to attract and hire the right people fast without slowing down the business. If you're building with purpose and want to do it with intention, I’d love to connect. ✨ My value add: Renowned for my creativity and strategic excellence, I thrive in ambiguity, building where no blueprint exists. I facilitate open and honest conversations and champion constructive conflict to strengthen relationships. 🌱 My belief: Hiring is one of the fastest levers for growth. I focus on helping startups cultivate a culture of excellence in hiring, while keeping the candidate experience seamless and positive. When done right, talent acquisition doesn’t just fill roles, it fuels business growth. 🚀 My style: I’m collaborative, pragmatic, and results-driven. I communicate clearly, stay approachable, and focus on delivering talent strategies that directly move the business forward.

Cultivate

Co-Founder/ Technical Recruiting

Jun 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 11 mos · Toronto, Ontario, Canada

  • In 2023, I launched and co-founded Cultivate to help founders build teams during growth without breaking culture, momentum, or trust.
  • Before co-founding Cultivate, I spent over 15 years in talent acquisition at places like Meta and fintech and B2B tech startups. In those roles, I recruited AI and machine learning engineers before “AI” became the buzzword it is today. The teams I helped build went on to deliver products that scaled rapidly and drove meaningful impact.
  • My work sits at the intersection of recruiting, hiring systems, and founder decision-making. As an embedded recruiting partner, I support startups that need senior hiring judgment without building a full internal team.
  • At Cultivate, our goal is to help startups build agile teams and create talent strategies that match their unique growth stages. Whether it's recruiting the right talent or optimizing TA operations, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in early-stage and scaling companies.
  • I’m actively involved in Canada’s tech startup ecosystem, offering early-stage advising and collaborating on industry partnerships. I’m always open to exploring new ways to help startups thrive.
