I am a senior Talent Acquisition leader and independent consultant with 20+ years of experience including 10+ years in leadership. I combine strategic insight, operational expertise, and hands-on recruitment execution.

My career spans multi-site and international organizations in Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Engineering, Industrial Services, and CPG. I partner with executives, HR teams, and operational leaders to solve critical hiring challenges, build scalable Talent Acquisition strategies, strengthen recruiting operations, and improve workforce planning.

My consulting approach starts with understanding your business, not simply reviewing open positions. I assess organizational priorities, workforce needs, operational constraints, and hiring challenges to deliver solutions for immediate demands and long-term objectives.

From executive and technical recruiting to fractional TA leadership, ATS implementation, and process optimization, I offer practical, business-aligned solutions.
