Managed strategic recruiting for rapid global expansion and scaleup. Partnering with executives and other leaders, I focused on securing industry-leading talent to support growth. My priority was sourcing professionals who enhanced the entrepreneurial, mission-driven culture. I led process improvement projects, cross-functional collaboration, and the management of a talent team that transformed hiring capacity for previously understaffed departments. By optimizing recruiting practices, accelerating offer timelines, and increasing the number of extended offers, I enabled the scaling of hiring talent domestically and internationally. My leadership strengthened talent pipelines and boosted offers across HR, Marketing, Legal, and other essential corporate functions.
