About

I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and human potential. With over 9 years of experience across multiple domains, I’ve dedicated my career to one mission: finding the right talent to solve the world’s most complex problems. Currently, I partner with Google (via Randstad) to lead full-cycle recruitment for L4 Product roles. Navigating the hiring bar for one of the world’s most innovative companies requires more than just sourcing—it requires deep stakeholder alignment, a product-first mindset, and the ability to act as a strategic advisor to both hiring managers and candidates.
