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.

You have been applying to jobs for weeks or months. You have updated your CV, written cover letters and followed all the advice. And still nothing changes. The problem is not effort. It is positioning. Your CV does not clearly communicate what problem you solve, and hiring managers are making a decision about you in under 10 seconds. I fix that. I work with professionals from Engineers to C-suite executives across tech, finance, operations, and beyond. I reposition your CV and LinkedIn around quantified results, run targeted applications and outreach on your behalf, and coach you through interviews to offer stage. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: Landed a client a six figure Director of Operations offer A Fullstack Engineer with little to no traction received two job offers, including a six figure role at a cybersecurity platform trusted by 10,000+ companies, after repositioning A Business Analyst landed a new role within 2 months of CV repositioning A Data Scientist went from zero interviews to 7 responses in 2 weeks Currently supporting a Backend Engineer through final round interviews Working with Directors in Leadership and Organisation Development through active interview processes Currently working with clients targeting roles across the US, UK, EU, UAE, and APAC. If your experience is strong but your results are not matching, the signal is off. Let's fix it..

Key Areas of Expertise (10+ years’ experience) • AI-Enabled Talent and People Infrastructure • Multi-Layer AI Agent Design and Workflow Automation • Start-up and Scale-up Operations • Executive Recruitment and Workforce Strategy • Embedding AI into HR Systems, Hiring Processes, and Evaluation Frameworks • Team Coaching and Capability Development I have over a decade of experience across operations, HR, and executive recruitment, working primarily with early-stage and scaling businesses. I partner with founders and leadership teams to build the structures, teams, and ways of working required to deliver against commercial goals. My focus is on turning strategy into execution. This involves defining operating models, clarifying ownership, and implementing practical frameworks such as SOPs, process maps, RACI, and decision-making structures. The objective is to remove ambiguity, increase pace, and enable teams to operate effectively as the business grows. A key differentiator in my work is the design and deployment of AI across talent and operations. I build multi-layered AI agent systems that integrate directly into workflows, supporting the full hiring and people lifecycle, from role definition and sourcing through to assessment, decision-making, and onboarding. This includes: - AI agents for sourcing, screening, and candidate engagement - Structured evaluation frameworks and AI-supported scorecards to improve consistency and hiring quality - Automated workflows across recruitment and HR to eliminate manual bottlenecks - Decision-support systems that enable faster, more informed hiring outcomes - AI embedded within HR environments to support performance tracking, documentation, and day-to-day operations The approach is always practical, integrating AI into existing environments so it is adopted, scalable, and aligned with business priorities rather than adding unnecessary complexity. Alongside this, I lead executive and GTM hiring as a strategic function rather than a transactional process. I work closely with leadership teams to define roles based on business priorities, build hiring roadmaps, and deliver targeted searches that balance capability, potential, and long-term alignment. I also focus heavily on team performance and leadership development. I support early GTM and operational teams operating in high-pressure environments, particularly where client relationships and revenue are at risk. This includes onboarding, coaching on complex client scenarios, strengthening commercial judgement, and improving consistency in execution. At leadership level, I help sharpen decision-making, accountability, and performance standards. In addition, I support individuals stepping into greater responsibility, helping them navigate complexity, improve judgement, and perform effectively under pressure. Overall, I work across people, operations, and AI-enabled systems, helping businesses build the structure, capability, and infrastructure needed to scale while maintaining control of execution.

I worked as a headhunter and recruiter for over a decade, in my time recruiting I estimate I have seen over 100,000 resumes and rewritten over 2,000 (over 700 of those are on Upwork, check out my reviews below!). My experience has been gained in a variety of industries, I have expertise in Construction, Pharmaceuticals, Sales & Marketing, IT, Accounts & Finance, Property, Engineering, Healthcare & Education. Each industry has its own style, and a different approach is needed for all; language modifications, tone, formatting all need to be different for each. I never use the same template, your documents will be unique to you. It makes more sense to me to complete the content and then create a format that flows nicely with that information, rather than shoehorn content into an existing template. I will take the time to understand your needs and personality, and make the document fit with those. Research suggests hiring managers spend a matter of seconds analysing a resume before making a gut decision, first impressions count. I can use my experience to re-write your resume, help you land that dream job you've been chasing. Once the resume, CV and cover letter does the job, I'm here to help you through the interview process. Having facilitated thousands of interviews in my career, I know that these can be nerve wracking, the best solution to this is practise and preparation. I have been on LinkedIn for more than a decade, I've organically grown my own network to over 10,000 and had posts reach over 1 million people. I can increase your engagement, manage your profile, grow your network, improve your profile so you appear in more searches or generally revamp the profile to keep it in line with your other professional documentation and profiles. I have recently developed my own 10 point guide to LinkedIn improvement - ask me about it!
