About Me

I am an international Talent Acquisition Partner with over 15 years’ experience scaling public sector and enterprise teams across the UK, EMEA and North America, supporting organisations during critical phases of growth, transformation and market expansion. I operate as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, leading end-to-end recruitment for complex, hard-to-fill specialist and leadership roles across both public and private sectors.

My approach combines data-driven recruitment strategies, rigorous use of hiring metrics and pipeline analytics, and innovative sourcing and headhunting techniques to improve speed, quality and cost efficiency while embedding Diversity & Inclusion into every stage of the hiring process. A collaborative communicator, I build strong relationships with C-suite leaders, hiring managers and stakeholders to translate business needs into effective hiring strategies, consistently delivering measurable outcomes such as reduced time-to-hire, improved offer acceptance rates and sustainable talent pipelines aligned to organisational growth objectives.
