About

I’ve spent the last 8 years in Talent Acquisition, with 3+ years leading teams across the tech industry. Along the way, I’ve built and scaled world-class hiring functions across Red Hat, Google, Gojek, and now Cimpress. What excites me most is creating hiring experiences that feel simple and human, for both candidates and recruiters. I love enabling my team to do their best work, whether that’s through stronger systems, smoother processes, or just removing the noise so they can focus on impact. Beyond day-to-day hiring, I’ve led programs like interviewer capability building, ATS implementation end-to-end, and partnering with branding & communications to showcase our employer brand. Over the years, I’ve hired across APAC, covering everything from engineering and data roles to sales and product. Key strengths include Talent Mapping, Talent Management, Recruitment Operations, Business Partnering, and Program Management, with a proven track record of implementing recruitment strategies that scale globally and build high-performing teams.
