I bring extensive experience from both sides of the hiring process: as a senior leader making hiring decisions, and as the executive responsible for building and running large, global recruiting organizations. Over the course of my career, I’ve hired thousands of people across roles, functions, levels, and geographies—ranging from early-career talent to senior executives—inside companies at very different stages of growth. As a hiring manager, I’ve been accountable for building teams that performed under real business pressure. I know how hiring decisions are made when tradeoffs are unavoidable, timelines are tight, and the cost of a miss is high. I’ve evaluated candidates not just on resumes or interviews, but on how they would actually show up in role, on team, and in moments that mattered. At the same time, I’ve led and scaled global recruiting functions inside complex organizations. I’ve designed hiring strategies, overseen high-volume recruiting across multiple markets, partnered closely with executives and business leaders, and made decisions about who moved forward, who stalled, and why. That experience gives me deep, practical insight into how candidates move through hiring systems, where they get stuck, and what actually influences outcomes behind the scenes. Because I’ve operated both as the decision-maker and as the leader of the hiring engine, I understand the mechanics of hiring in a way most career coaches do not. I know how roles are scoped, how candidates are compared, how signals are interpreted, and where perception, positioning, and timing make a real difference. Clients work with me when they want clear, honest guidance grounded in how hiring really works—not generic advice or surface-level tactics. Whether someone is early in their career, navigating a pivot, or preparing for a bigger next step, I help them make career decisions with a realistic understanding of the market and how they are evaluated within it.
