Summary

With 6+ years at the intersection of talent and growth, I’ve built a career on matching ambitious talent with transformative opportunities.

I approach recruitment as both an art and a science — blending data-driven strategy with deep human insight. Every hire is a chance to shape culture, accelerate business outcomes, and unlock human potential. Whether partnering with founders or guiding candidates through career-defining moments, I bring clarity, care, and commitment to every search.
