Luke Ueno
Senior Talent Acquisition Partner @ UiPath
About
I’m a bilingual (Japanese/English) and bicultural talent partner, originally from Japan and raised across Canada and the United States since the age of 3. This global upbringing shapes how I connect people, teams, and opportunities across cultures. I began my journey at Hawaii Pacific University, where I studied Integrated Multimedia and competed as an NCAA Men’s Tennis athlete—an experience that built my discipline, resilience, and team-first mindset. Since graduating, I’ve built my career in recruiting across both agency and in-house environments, partnering with global organizations including DoorDash, AWS, SEGA, and now UiPath. I specialize in connecting top talent with high-impact roles in fast-paced, innovative companies. I’m passionate about AI, global hiring, and helping people find opportunities where they can truly thrive. If you’re exploring your next move—or just want to exchange insights on careers, tech, or the future of work—let’s connect.

Education

Digital Communication and Media/Multimedia
Started my education as a Psychology major. However, it really did not spark for me in the introduction course. So I decided to change my major to integrated multimedia as I really had interests in photography and filming. After spending 3.5 years taking integrated multimedia courses mixed in with the NCAA DII Tennis team, I had acquired the important skills of communication, time management, competition, and networking.
