I’ve spent over a decade at the heart of hyper-growth tech, leading talent acquisition for world-class R&D, Software Engineering, and AI teams.

Whether it was scaling Just Eat, navigating the pace of Getir, or my current role at Atlassian, I have sat behind the curtain of thousands of hiring decisions.

I know that career transitions and uncertainty are the hardest phases of professional life. I specialize in helping you translate your 'pivot' into the language that Tier-1 tech recruiters speak. My approach is a mix of deep empathy for the 'stuck' professional and the ruthless tactical insight of an R&D hiring manager.

Are you feeling stuck, facing career uncertainty, or looking to make a major pivot?

Most professionals struggle to translate their past experience into a new future. I help you navigate that transformation—moving from 'I don't know what's next' to a clear, actionable career plan.

Once we define your direction, we get tactical. I use my 'insider' perspective to help you execute:

The Transition CV: Rewriting your profile to highlight transferable skills.

The Narrative: Mastering the 'Why are you changing careers?' interview question.

The Tech Bar: Specific feedback based on current R&D and AI hiring standards.

Offer Negotiation: Ensuring you don't leave money on the table during a shift.

Let's turn your uncertainty into your next big move!
