About

I’m a senior talent acquisition partner with over 13 years of experience scaling product and engineering teams across the UK, India, and Europe. At Roku, I’ve led projects that improved compliance, redefined candidate experience, and embedded feedback loops across the hiring lifecycle. My work blends data with humanity — from building recruiter NPS systems using Starred, to reducing first-day no-shows in India by reshaping preboarding, to auditing contractor records and defining process improvement to clean up contingent workforce compliance. Alongside my work, I’ve completed executive coaching training, further sharpening my ability to support leaders, navigate ambiguity, and drive system-level change. I’m also a proud advocate for neurodiversity in the workplace. As someone with ADHD, I believe inclusion isn’t a campaign — it’s a system design problem. I bring that lens into everything I build. I work best where ambiguity meets ambition. And I’m future-facing — with a focus on automation, ethical AI, and creating processes people trust.
