About

Technical Talent Strategist | AI-Certified Sourcing Expert | Agile Project ManagementI don’t just fill seats; I engineer high-performing talent infrastructure. With a career rooted in the high-stakes corporate environment of Allstate, I’ve evolved into a Senior Talent Leader who bridges the gap between traditional recruitment excellence and the future of AI-driven acquisition.In a market where everyone is "hiring," I focus on identifying the unfindable. My approach is defined by three core pillars that drive measurable ROI:High-Stakes Brand Ambassadorship: I have represented the Allstate brand alongside premier global partners including ESPN and Mercedes-Benz. This experience has honed my ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments and maintain a "gold standard" executive presence when engaging elite talent.AI-Powered Sourcing & Strategy: As an AI-certified strategist, I leverage advanced Boolean and generative AI workflows to identify and engage the top 1% of "invisible" passive talent across Tech, Sales, Finance and corporate hires.Agile Methodology & Data Rigor: I treat the talent pipeline as a product. By applying Agile Project Management and data analytics, I optimize hiring workflows to ensure speed, quality, and extreme precision in high-velocity environments.My expertise exists at the intersection of High-Stakes Brand Representation and Technical Recruitment Execution. Whether I am representing the Allstate brand alongside premier partners like ESPN and Mercedes-Benz, or architecting AI-driven sourcing workflows to identify the 'unfindable' 1% of tech talent, I deliver results that align with global business scale.Expertise: Sr. Technical Recruitment | Advanced Boolean Sourcing | AI Talent Strategy | Agile PM | Workflow Optimization | Stakeholder Management | Skills-Based Hiring Models
