About

As the Senior Director Global Talent Acquisition at Yubico, I lead the global recruitment strategy and execution for one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the world. With over 18 years of experience in talent acquisition, I have helped scale teams across geographies, industries, and functions, with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am also a certified professional co-active coach (CPCC) and a mentor at Nex Cubed, where I support emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in developing their skills, confidence, and vision. I am passionate about fostering a culture of learning, growth, and collaboration, both within and outside Yubico. I believe that talent retention starts with talent acquisition, and that culture add is more valuable than culture fit.
