I’m passionate about building strategic hiring frameworks and driving innovative sourcing strategies that elevate our recruiting impact across regions.Most recently, I played a key role in the rapid buildout of our Costa Rica GSS location—scaling from launch to over 200 employees in under 12 months. I’m focused on aligning talent acquisition initiatives with business goals, creating seamless candidate experiences, and helping Workday grow with exceptional talent across North America and LATAM.
