People & Talent Leader — transforming recruiting with AI, inclusion and global strategy to build future‑ready organizations

I turn Talent Acquisition into a strategic growth engine that aligns people strategy to business outcomes. I build scalable, data‑driven recruiting programs and implement AI-enabled sourcing and assessment tools to improve speed, quality and predictability of hiring. I design inclusive hiring frameworks and global workforce strategies that increase diversity, retention and candidate experience while partnering closely with business leaders to forecast needs and prioritize critical skills. I coach teams, scale processes and deliver measurable talent outcomes that enable sustained organizational growth.
