Director, New Business Development

I’m a global Talent Acquisition leader who thrives on solving complex business problems and bringing structure to fast-moving environments — always with servant leadership and a sense of humor. Over the last 15 years, I’ve scaled recruiting teams across North America, EMEA, LATAM, APJ, and India, partnering with executives to build the strategies and pipelines that fuel growth.

At Nike, DocuSign, Twilio, and ŌURA, I’ve delivered 125–150% of hiring goals year after year, reducing time-to-fill from 80+ days to under 55 and consistently exceeding diversity and quality-of-hire targets. My work spans executive search, technical recruiting (AI/ML, cloud, cybersecurity, product engineering), and G&A recruiting (sales, GTM, finance, strategy) — giving me a unique ability to flex across functions and geographies.

I lead with data and process rigor, but never at the expense of candidate and stakeholder experience. Whether I’m building dashboards that uncover bottlenecks, running global conference sourcing campaigns (RSA, BlackHat, GDC), or advising executives on workforce planning, my focus is on creating scalable, repeatable systems that attract world-class talent.
