About me

Strategic Talent Leader | TA Transformation, Executive Search & Scalable Hiring Solutions

I help ambitious companies build lean, high-impact talent functions that scale — without losing the human touch.

Over the past 17+ years, I’ve led recruiting and people teams across startups, scale-ups, and global corporates — including Uber, Wise, and Trainline. My experience spans hyper-growth fintechs to complex enterprise environments, giving me a unique lens on what it takes to build talent functions that actually deliver.

I’ve:

  • Scaled hiring globally across tech and business functions

  • Built out executive search capabilities in-house

  • Introduced AI and automation to speed up hiring and reduce costs

  • Embedded workforce planning as a strategic lever — not just an HR initiative

  • Championed inclusive hiring practices that shape culture, not just headcount

Now, I offer Talent Acquisition Advisory services to founders, people leaders, and talent teams who want to scale better — faster, fairer, and with real strategic impact.

If you're building something ambitious and want your hiring to match — let’s talk.
