About

With over 16 years in Talent Acquisition, I’ve had the opportunity to work across different stages of organizational growth — from strengthening existing teams to supporting new capability build-outs. Currently, I lead Talent Acquisition initiatives at Seismic, partnering with leaders across Product, Engineering, AI/ML, and Go-To-Market functions. My focus is on creating structured, scalable hiring practices while maintaining a strong emphasis on candidate experience and inclusive recruitment. I enjoy working at the intersection of business priorities and talent strategy — understanding market dynamics, building thoughtful hiring plans, and using data and technology to improve decision-making. Over time, this approach has helped streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, and create more predictable hiring outcomes. I’m particularly interested in how AI, automation, and workforce planning are reshaping the future of Talent Acquisition. I believe modern TA leaders play a key role in aligning hiring strategy with long-term organizational capability. I value conversations around building high-performing teams, scaling responsibly, and evolving talent practices in fast-growing environments.

Senior Manager Talent Acquisition

Nov 2024 – Present · 1 yr 7 mos · Hyderabad, Telangana, India · On-site

At Seismic, I’m helping build something meaningful — our India hub that brings together world-class talent across Product, Engineering, AI/ML, and GTM.
My work goes beyond hiring — it’s about shaping how Seismic scales as a global B2B SaaS company. I partner with leaders across Product, Engineering, Sales Enablement, and Go-To-Market functions to bring in people who can turn ideas into products and strategies into outcomes.
I’ve introduced AI-driven sourcing and automation tools that made our hiring faster, data-informed, and more inclusive — reducing time-to-hire by 30% while keeping quality and candidate experience at the heart of it.
What I enjoy most is the building part — assembling diverse, high-performing teams that can create, sell, and support innovative SaaS products. It’s the intersection of people, technology, and purpose that keeps me inspired every day.
