About

As the Talent Acquisition Manager at Zinnov, I lead the Talent Acquisition and Leadership Hiring teams with a strategic focus on identifying, attracting, and securing top-tier talent for pivotal roles. With a keen understanding of organizational needs and market dynamics, I drive end-to-end recruitment strategies for my team that ensure leadership positions are filled with candidates who align with clients' vision and values. At VMware, I honed my expertise in hiring for critical areas such as the Cloud Management and Storage Business Units. Beyond recruitment, I mentored associates, conducted market research, and led initiatives to refine hiring processes, positioning the organization as a competitive talent destination. My experience in leadership hiring has consistently delivered impactful results, strengthening business units with exceptional leaders. Balancing strategic oversight with hands-on involvement, I empower my teams with best practices in executive hiring and talent acquisition, ensuring we meet organizational goals with agility and precision.
