My experience encompasses both established tech giants and rapidly scaling start-ups, developing a versatile skill set adaptable to different organisational needs and growth stages.

I've played crucial roles in establishing and expanding engineering presence for companies like Meta and Yahoo in Europe, honing my ability to attract elite global talent in competitive markets. My expertise lies in technical recruitment, particularly in mobile development, backend engineering, data science, and AI/ML.

Throughout my career, I've leveraged data-driven approaches and innovative sourcing strategies to penetrate niche talent pools. My experience spans the full talent lifecycle - from employer branding and recruitment to development, engagement, and retention.

I've consistently demonstrated the ability to build and lead high-performance teams, optimise processes, and implement cutting-edge people technologies.
