About Carllie Akins
I’m a results-driven, MBA candidate passionate about connecting people, strategy, and data to drive business performance. With a background spanning HR strategy, brand development, and business operations across Fortune 500 and growth-stage organizations, I’ve developed a strong foundation in talent acquisition, people analytics, and cross-functional collaboration.Currently serving as a Technical Talent Acquisition Partner supporting Infrastructure Operations at Amazon Web Services (AWS), where I partner closely with hiring leaders to recruit technical talent across data center environments. My work focuses on hiring for mission-critical roles that support the infrastructure powering AWS cloud services, including Engineering Operations Technicians, Data Center Operations, and Infrastructure Delivery teams.My recent work includes high-volume and strategic recruiting environments, developing strong capabilities in candidate sourcing, stakeholder partnership, and full-cycle recruitment across multiple technical and operational functions. From analyzing FemCare white space opportunities at Kimberly-Clark, to increasing diversity sourcing by 15% at Nolan Transportation Group, I’m currently focused on applying my analytical mindset and leadership strengths in roles that advance organizational growth and purpose-driven impact — especially within energy, sustainability, and innovation-focused sectors.Let’s connect if you’re building teams that value resilience, courage, and strategy — and need someone who thrives at the intersection of people and business. As a first-generation professional, I am deeply motivated by creating access to meaningful career opportunities and helping organizations build strong, high-performing teams. I believe talent acquisition is not simply about filling roles—it is about aligning people, capability, and business growth.
