For over 10 years, I have been dedicated to building world class teams ina a rapidly evolving industry. My expertise lies in full-cycle recruitment, specializing in placing high-impact technical / non- technical talent within fast-growing startups and established tech giants! I operate as a strategic partner to both hiring managers and candidates, leveraging deep market knowledge to navigate complex hiring landscapes. My approach is built on understanding not just the technical requirements of a role, but also the cultural DNA of the company through DEI initiatives, unbiased interviews, and candidate experience. Lastly, I am passionate about both physical and mental health awareness while supporting my community 🇨🇦🇯🇲✊🏿. When not at work, you can find me debating sports on X 👍🏿 👎🏿 , in the gym 💪🏿 , on a football field 🏈, or playing video games online 🕹. You're always welcome to reach out to me via direct message to discuss anything in the industry, whether it be mentoring, guidance, or to catch up!
