Senior Producer | Recruiting Leader | Scaling Startups & Global Teams across AI, Emerging Tech, + Research

I am a senior recruiting leader and producer with 18+ years of experience scaling startups and global organizations across AI/ML, AR/VR, gaming, crypto, entertainment, and emerging technologies. Known as a builder and scaler, I design recruiting functions from the ground up, drive rapid headcount growth, and evolve talent acquisition into a true strategic partner to the business. At Meta, I built global recruiting operations for AR/VR research and gaming, supported seven studio acquisitions, and grew trusted global teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC. At Cohere, I doubled headcount from 190 to 400+ in under a year while advancing DEI and scaling across engineering, research, and go-to-market. At Coinbase, I was recruited to build a new recruiting team, but within weeks, the crypto winter forced a hiring pause. I pivoted to leading strategic, crypto-focused projects — including mapping the top 200 global crypto companies with the Head of Talent Intelligence — while partnering with the broader talent team on critical initiatives such as restructuring interview processes. Earlier roles at Columbia Sportswear, Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation sharpened my expertise in driving growth, product launches, and billion-dollar revenue expansion. I’ve led recruiting through hypergrowth, downturns, and transformations — partnering with founders and executives to design scalable strategies, launch DEI initiatives, and build resilient global teams. Recognized as a people-first leader, I thrive at the intersection of talent strategy and business impact — whether doubling headcount at an AI startup, navigating a crypto winter, or designing cultural initiatives for a global events company. Today, I channel that same energy into two worlds: producing immersive, large-scale experiences as a Senior Producer at Trademark Event Productions, and shaping the future of talent and investing as a Founding Member of Syelo Ventures.
