I’m a senior talent partner with deep experience scaling high-growth startups and building world-class teams inside some of the most recognisable tech companies. I’ve led recruiting for Instagram and the Metaverse team in London, and prior to that I headed up hiring at Twitter in London, where I helped build Software Engineering, Mobile, Product, and Design teams from the ground up. Alongside big tech, I’ve scaled startups at different stages of growth, including General System, Attio, Kittl, Presence, Scoreplay, Elliptic, and Sphere. This mix of hyper-growth startup environments and large, complex organisations has given me a practical, hands-on understanding of what it takes to hire well, move fast, and build sustainable teams. I specialise in end-to-end recruiting and talent strategy, from advanced sourcing using LinkedIn Recruiter and other platforms, through to hiring for highly technical roles such as Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend, Full Stack) and Machine Learning Engineers. I also work closely with founders and leaders to improve internal hiring processes, reduce time-to-hire, and design effective interview frameworks. Beyond hiring, I support candidates and companies with CV writing, FAANG interview preparation, job description writing, career coaching, and employer branding. I’m always happy to chat—feel free to drop me a note and we can set up a call anytime.
