I have spent over 20 years leading high-stakes engineering projects, fueling a passion for matching talent with opportunity. My career began in oil and gas, where I gained expertise in hydroprocessing and project management, then evolved into roles requiring negotiation, team leadership, and strategic insight. By bridging technical know-how with human-centered approaches, I know how to recruit effectively across industries, from energy sector, IT to the fast-paced hospitality sector.
Additionally, I embrace continuous learning, holding credentials like PMP and GIAC Certified Incident Handler, which sharpen my ability to anticipate challenges, mitigate risks, and foster collaborative environments that drive impact.
I am a Global HR Professional (GPHR) with two decades of experience in talent management and organizational development. As a former leader of Learning and Talent Development in a Fortune 500 company, I have successfully guided teams through transformative business resets, achieving aspirational goals even in resource-constrained environments.
With extensive hands-on recruitment experience, I have led internal recruiting teams, attracted top talent through innovative strategies, and provided strategic guidance to leadership throughout the hiring process.
One of my core values is building genuine connections and leading with kindness. For me, recruitment is not just a process—it’s about truly hearing, seeing, and understanding my clients’ needs. This approach enables me to provide only A-level candidates.
With my unique blend of strategic leadership, recruitment expertise, and organizational development skills, I help organizations build high-performing teams and empower individuals to thrive in their careers.
