About

Quadrilingual Talent Acquisition professional with 10 years’ experience hiring across APAC (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and more) in SaaS and professional services. I partner closely with cross-cultural stakeholders to design hiring strategies that support business priorities/goals, while keeping a human, candidate-first approach. As an ICF ACC-certifed Coach, I bring strong active listening skills to have courageous conversation with my stakeholders. I’m now looking for opportunities that gradually grow from Talent Acquisition into a People/HR Business Partnering role supporting regional teams. I’m excited to explore opportunities that make use of my APAC recruitment experience and multi-cultural understanding, and I’m open to relocating for the right role.
