I’m a strategic Talent Acquisition leader with a deep passion for understanding the business and driving meaningful impact. With over 15 years of experience in Talent Acquisition and 6+ years in people leadership, I thrive on building high-performing teams and creating environments where people feel trusted, supported, and inspired to do their best work. From leading corporate TA teams to managing a branch office in the staffing industry, I’ve navigated the complexities of talent strategy, workforce planning, and organizational change. I’ve led teams of up to 20, including remote and hybrid teams, and my recruitment experience spans North America and Europe. No challenge is too big when you have the right plan and the right people—I love finding creative solutions and making things happen. A certified change management professional and lifelong learner, I’m passionate about growth—both mine and others\'. I’ve even had the opportunity to deliver Dale Carnegie Training, reinforcing my commitment to leadership development and continuous improvement. I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments and see challenges as opportunities to innovate. Whether navigating industry disruptions like the pandemic in aviation, leading through M&A transitions, or supporting organizations through IPOs and privatizations, I bring resilience, adaptability, and a results-driven mindset to every situation.
