About

I specialise in building high-performing teams that drive business success, with over a decade of experience in recruiting across industries. At Dezerv, I lead talent acquisition and business partnering for critical functions, aligning hiring strategies with our mission to be the house of investment solutions. From revamping hiring processes to leading change management efforts, I’ve been at the forefront of creating seamless and scalable talent practices. Beyond recruiting, I collaborate closely with teams as a trusted business partner, offering insights that solve talent challenges and support long-term organisational goals. For me, success is about more than just filling roles—it’s about delivering an outstanding candidate experience, nurturing a culture of innovation, and enabling hires to thrive and make an impact. I work closely with leadership to enable high-performing, resilient teams—focusing on solving for scale, improving collaboration, and nurturing a culture of ownership and innovation. I am driven by building people-first systems that power business outcomes. At Dezerv, we embrace the balance of agility and ambition. We’re big enough to provide world-class opportunities and small enough to offer direct access to leadership and decision-making. Our focus is on outcomes, valuing flexibility and collaboration over rigid structures. I’m passionate about creating meaningful connections, whether it’s through helping a candidate say “yes” to a life-changing opportunity or supporting teams in achieving their best work. Let’s connect and shape the future together!
