Sourcing Recruiter @ Amazon Web Services (AWS)

About

I’ve spent more than a decade in Talent Acquisition helping organizations hire with clarity and intention. My career began with a simple insight: strong hiring isn’t just about filling roles, it’s about understanding people, earning trust, and creating experiences that make candidates and leaders feel supported. That philosophy has guided me through global recruiting work across NAMER, EMEA, and APJC. I’m known for combining talent intelligence, AI‑driven sourcing, and thoughtful stakeholder partnership to solve complex hiring challenges and deliver measurable results. Whether advising executives, optimizing processes, or mentoring early‑career talent, I focus on building relationships that move work forward. I believe the best recruiting functions are both data‑driven and deeply human, and I thrive at the intersection of the two. If you’re passionate about elevating how organizations attract and engage talent, I’m always open to connecting.
