About

With over four years of recruitment experience, I’m passionate about connecting exceptional talent with transformative opportunities at Optiver. Having lived in Japan, Switzerland, Thailand, Spain, and now the Netherlands, I bring a global perspective and curiosity about people and cultures to my work. Proficient in English, Japanese, Spanish, and Hindi, I adopt an inclusive approach to talent acquisition and campus recruitment that aligns with Optiver’s dynamic culture. My experience at Optiver and SThree has honed my skills in sourcing top candidates, managing time efficiently, and creating programs to attract talent from all over the world. At SThree, I specialized in placing IT professionals in critical roles in the digital marketing industry, gaining valuable insights into the fast-paced tech recruitment landscape. This experience, combined with my focus on best practices in HR and change leadership, helps me build agile, future-focused teams. Outside of work, I enjoy discovering new restaurants and cafes, traveling, practicing Pilates and yoga, and dancing—passions that inspire me both personally and professionally.
