I build talent engines that help startups scale with clarity, speed, and confidence. With 15+ years in Talent Acquisition, and a track record of taking companies from zero to high-performing, global teams. I bring a rare combination of hands-on execution and strategic leadership. I’ve seen what “great” looks like across diverse, high-growth environments: at Teladoc, I helped scale the business from ~400 to 4,500 employees across 17 countries; at Bankrate, I built the talent function across multiple portfolio brands wich led to a $1.4B acquisition; and across VC-backed startups, I’ve been the founding recruiter who writes the playbook, builds the systems, and hires the teams when precision and velocity matter. Today, I design full-stack recruiting functions while serving as a trusted partner to CEOs, founders, and executive teams on hiring strategy, workforce planning, compensation, and leadership hiring. I’m relentless about raising the hiring bar, not maintaining it. I obsess over the details that shape candidate experience, because every interaction signals who a company is becoming. I build with leverage in mind, integrating AI, automation, and modern recruiting systems to remove friction and free up time for real human judgment. I thrive at the intersection of precision, speed, and trust, and I ensure recruiting operates as a true business driver, not a support function.
