ABOUT KHAFILA ABIOLA
I’m an executive and technical talent leader with a strong track record of partnering directly with C‑suite stakeholders to shape leadership hiring strategies in fast‑moving, customer‑centric global businesses. I’ve supported organisations such as Amazon and Expedia Group, hiring more than 200 senior leaders across travel, e‑commerce, AWS, devices and streaming media environments. My background spans engineering, product, security, and solutions architecture, alongside deep experience hiring for commercial, finance, marketing, business development, strategy, and operations roles. This breadth allows me to work seamlessly across both technical and business domains, particularly in complex and regulated sectors. I’m also deeply committed to building more inclusive leadership teams. I conceived and co-led Project Stellar, a proactive executive‑talent initiative focused on female, Black, and Latin leaders. The programme resulted in 50+ diverse leadership hires and strengthened representation across a global travel ecosystem. I’m energised by roles where I can influence senior leaders, build trusted partnerships, and help organisations scale through exceptional, diverse talent. I enjoy leading high performance teams as a player coach.
