- With a dotted line to the Global head of TA, led the regional talent sourcing team for zone 'AOA' with a ‘virtual’ team of recruitment/ sourcing specialists across Asia, Oceania and Africa focusing on end to end talent attraction for ‘difficult to hire’ functional areas, job families and roles across levels.- As advisors to local HRLT's, my team contributed to the business’s broader, strategic talent attraction agenda - people planning, drawing up actionable talent insights, building and managing strong & diverse talent pipelines, identifying areas to strengthen the business’s ‘local’ employer brand supported by sound recruitment marketing campaigns. We helped shape and co-create long term talent attraction strategies, identified and removed short term bottlenecks, facilitated knowledge sharing across the zone and introduced/institutionalised industry best practices within the business, thus elevating the overall effectiveness and 'value to the business' for all short and long term TA interventions both at the local & zone levels.- Led a complete end to end transformation of a fledgling capability across the zone (set vision, defined structure and location strategy, built team capability, introduced the concept of talent intelligence and insight generation)- Engaged with local HRLT's and re-positioned the capability with the business and HR community. Drove culture transformation across the zone to institutionalise a robust, standard, best in class approach to talent attraction and build a strong in-house talent advisory capability.- Institutionalized best practices across the zone for senior leadership hiring and managing business critical and diverse, external talent pools. - Managed key external vendor relationships across the zone- Partnered with Global Head of TA and his team in Vevey on strategic zone wide TA excellence initiatives and oversaw local implementation across the zone, partnering with zone HR and local, in- market HRLT’s.

Was headhunted to build a best in class and agile 'talent attraction' capability from ground up, to not only enable our ‘in-market’ teams across Middle East and Africa take informed and swift ‘talent acquisition’ decisions but also help co-create talent acquisition strategies with local HRLT's across the region, drive efficiencies and institutionalize an advisory and insight led mindset across TA, broader HR and the business especially for the most hard to fill and critical roles across the spectrum. A big part of my team's mandate was also to help build capabilities of 'in-market' teams and drive adoption of industry best practices. This intervention was part of Nestle's global end to end HR transformation project.
