As an accomplished global recruiter and leader with over 15 years of experience in talent acquisition within the Cybersecurity, IT, and Banking industries, I have successfully managed large recruitment teams across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific. My expertise includes high-volume end-to-end recruitment processes, headhunting for positions from Junior to Executive levels, and utilizing various network channels to identify top talent. I hold an MBA in HR from the University of Wales and a BA in Business and Management from the European Business School in London, with proficiency in English, French, Hebrew, and Italian. Currently, I serve as a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Inteli-ai, where I designed HR policies, built talent acquisition strategies, and developed compensation and benefit plans. Previously, at Check Point Software Technologies, I led the International Talent Acquisition team, implementing global strategies, overseeing employer branding, and managing executive recruitment. My tenure at Bank of America Merrill Lynch involved managing recruitment operations across EMEA, implementing recruitment systems, and leading compliance and process improvement projects. My early career includes roles at the Royal Bank of Scotland, Poolia UK Limited, and internships at Accenture, Manpower HQ, and other organizations, where I honed my recruitment and leadership skills.Tech Stack
