Growing up in NYC, surrounded by different cultures, shaped how I connect with people and build relationships across diverse teams. This early exposure to diversity taught me the importance of empathy, communication, and understanding people from all walks of life—skills that have become the cornerstone of my career in talent. With 9+ years of global hiring experience, I specialize in finding and attracting top talent for Engineering, Product, and GTM roles across North America, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM. I’ve built scalable recruitment processes, aligned talent strategies with business goals, and helped organizations grow by finding the right people for the right roles. My strength lies in building strong relationships, fostering collaboration, and guiding candidates through a positive experience. What I bring: • Led global hiring efforts that enabled businesses to scale efficiently and build high-performing teams. • Developed recruitment strategies that are both data-driven and human-centered, ensuring we hire not just for skills but for culture fit. • Led implementations of new recruiting tools and systems. • Scaled R&D and GTM teams across the globe, doubled and even tripled team sizes, and built frameworks for sustainable growth. •Tackled challenges head-on, whether helping companies expand into new markets or solving tough hiring roadblocks. What I believe: •Empathy and emotional intelligence are crucial in recruiting. Data is important, but understanding people and building trust is what drives hiring success. •I stay calm and adapt quickly, which has helped me navigate the nuances and complexities of hiring. Outside of work, I’m a die-hard sports fan (Jets, Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, and Ole Miss Rebels!). I love the passion and resilience that sports bring, and I carry that same energy into everything I do. I’m also a nerd at heart—right now, I’m diving into Python and building scraping tools for fun. Continuous learning keeps me going, whether it’s in my career or personal life. Feel free to connect if you want to talk about global hiring & building great teams - or if you just want to chat about how I survive being a Jets fan. I’m always open to new connections and perspectives!
