Board Advisor / TA Solutions

Spearheading strategic talent acquisition initiatives hands-on, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives while actively managing open roles across Sales, Pre Sales, PS, CS, Marketing, Corporate Functions & Engineering to drive successful recruitment outcomes.

A key member of the leadership team & technology select committee, I had a huge part to play in  steering systems procurement efforts to propel the organizations growth and innovation, leveraging advanced technology for our US entire organization. 

Led & championed several high-performing teams on client sites & internally, offering dynamic coaching to hiring managers and recruitment teams, fostering a collaborative environment geared towards achieving recruitment goals and enhancing talent acquisition prowess.

Key achievement was to drive direct hiring spend to under 5% with initiatives I implemented, as well optimizing recruitment processes, and minimizing dependence on external resources to ensure cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.

Selected to lead and execute high-growth early-stage funding initiatives (one through Unicorn status) for 4 key clients listed below (Prodly, MindTickle, Blocknative & Scopely), managing greenfield sites to full functional TA functions within tight budgets and under highly pressured deliverables, showcasing adeptness in driving success amidst challenging circumstances.

DIRECTOR - RPO Talent Acquisition Solutions 

Scopely

I was contracted to Scopely via Hudson RPO to strategically plan and map out the Web3 space for future growth across several well-known game titles. While I'm bound by a non-disclosure agreement preventing me from divulging further details, my role involved a comprehensive analysis of the Web3 landscape, identifying opportunities for integration within Scopely's gaming ecosystem, and devising strategic initiatives to leverage emerging technologies effectively. Additionally, I was responsible for hands-on recruitment across product marketing and designers. Notably, engineering functions were relocated to Barcelona and other European locations, and I played a pivotal role in sourcing and hiring talent to support this transition. This involved collaborating closely with internal stakeholders, conducting market research, and staying abreast of industry trends to ensure Scopely's continued success and innovation in the ever-evolving gaming industry.

Blocknative

As the pioneer of Blocknative's Talent Acquisition function, I played a pivotal role in establishing and shaping the team from its inception, ensuring our DEI initiatives were always at the top of our hiring agenda in a (at the time) very male-dominated ecosystem. 

As the first Talent Acquisition professional in the company's history, I set the foundation, trained team members, and strategically drove core values in line with an EVP we created, ensuring all staff adopted throughout our hyper-growth from Seed Round to Series A.

I had the privilege of assembling a world-class executive team I hired CRO, CHRO & CMO, complementing the original founding members of the CTO and CEO roles. Together, our collective vision and expertise have positioned Blocknative at the forefront of innovation in the industry. I also recruited talent across all functions, including all GTM, Corporate, Engineering & product roles. These top-tier individuals were crucial in Blocknative's journey as a leading blockchain infrastructure start-up.
