15+About
With over 15 years of experience in talent acquisition, I have honed my skills in the Cybersecurity, IT, and Banking industries. My career has allowed me to manage large recruitment teams across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific, handling high-volume end-to-end recruitment processes. I am adept at headhunting for positions ranging from Junior to Executive levels, utilizing various network channels to secure top talent. My educational background includes an MBA in HR from the University of Wales and a BA in Business and Management with HRM and Entrepreneurship from the European Business School, London. Additionally, I am fluent in English and French, with intermediate proficiency in Hebrew and Italian. In my current role, I have designed company HR policies, developed compensation and benefit plans, and built a robust talent acquisition strategy. Previously, as the Head of International Talent Acquisition, I led a high-performing global team, implemented innovative sourcing techniques, and maintained a talent pipeline for critical roles. My experience also includes managing global talent acquisition operations, performing interviews and reference checks, and coordinating with HR teams to ensure a smooth onboarding process. I have a proven track record in developing and overseeing global graduate programs, managing recruitment marketing campaigns, and collaborating with senior leadership to align talent acquisition with business goals.Tech Stack

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...
“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
