I currently manage the hiring efforts for Microsoft IDC . As the Director of Talent Acquisition at Hevo Data, I was leading team that was responsible for hiring across GTM and PED space. Hevo Data is a fast-growing data integration platform that enables businesses to access and analyze data from multiple sources. My mission was to attract and retain the best talent in the market and build a diverse and inclusive culture.
