With extensive experience in talent management and acquisition, I am committed to fostering diverse and inclusive work environments that align with organizational goals. At BNY Mellon, I collaborate with hiring managers, COOs, and HR leaders to design and implement strategies that enhance talent pipelines, reduce hiring timelines, and improve representation of underrepresented groups in leadership roles. My mission is to empower organizations to build equitable and high-performing teams while promoting a culture of continuous development and excellence. At BNY Mellon, I lead full-cycle recruitment for senior and complex roles, prioritizing equitable hiring practices and partnering with leadership to drive talent strategies. My efforts have contributed to measurable improvements in time-to-fill rates and diversity metrics within senior leadership positions. Previous roles have honed my expertise in sourcing niche talent, market intelligence, and managing recruitment across industries like financial services, technology, and analytics. These experiences have shaped my ability to deliver impactful human capital strategies and foster organizational growth.
