About

Professional summary

I am a Talent Partner with extensive experience leading end-to-end recruitment across international, fast-growth organisations. I have hired across the US, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland and the Nordic markets, supporting roles from internships through C-level leadership positions.

I specialise in building scalable, fair and efficient hiring processes. I have consistently improved time-to-fill, sourced hires and candidate experience through structured recruitment operations.

I am experienced in talent acquisition strategy, sourcing, screening, interviewing, stakeholder management and employer branding. I enjoy partnering with hiring managers and business leaders to build high-performing, diverse teams.

I have led projects in DE&I hiring, onboarding, recruitment process design and employer-brand development. My work has included redesigning careers pages, launching employee-content initiatives, developing LinkedIn strategies and rolling out new onboarding experiences.

Before focusing on talent, I built commercial, e-commerce, account-management and operations experience at Crocs Europe. This background helps me understand business needs across sales, marketing, digital commerce, logistics and customer-facing teams.
