15 years + working closely with founders in early-stage startups on hiring and talent growth. Currently Executive Director, Talent at Cherry Ventures, a leading European VC, doing whatever it takes to help 130+ Cherry portfolio companies across Europe and MENA to scale from Seed to IPO. Supporting them on all things relating to human capital: building leadership teams, organisation design, internal recruiting capability, compensation & equity, international expansion, culture & values, performance management, etc. To be transparent: I won't be accepting any connection requests from external recruiters or other people trying to sell me something "to better support portfolio companies".
