Description

Fractional Head of People | Startup HR & Scaling Systems.

I help startups and small teams (0–50 people) build and scale their People function—covering recruitment, sourcing, HR operations, and performance—so you can grow without chaos or bottlenecks.

With 10+ years’ recruitment experience across tech, gaming, and creative environments, I bring a mix of strategic and hands-on support. I’ve led end-to-end hiring, built talent pipelines, and implemented scalable people processes that improve speed, structure, and team performance.

What sets me apart is my ability to combine recruitment delivery with full People Ops support. I don’t just help you hire—I build the systems around it: structured interviews, onboarding, performance frameworks, and HR processes that actually work in fast-moving teams.

Most recently, I led People & Culture in a global, remote organisation, owning everything from sourcing and hiring strategy to HRIS implementation, employee relations, and organisational design. I’ve reduced time-to-hire, improved candidate experience, and helped founders and leaders build high-performing, engaged teams.

I’ve also worked at Meta, Twitter, and EY, hiring complex high volume whilst partnering with senior stakeholders to align people strategy with business goals.

I specialise in hiring senior technical talent across Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Specialist Tech roles, supporting global teams across EMEA, APAC, and NORAM.

I partner with senior stakeholders to deliver scalable hiring strategies, managing high-volume pipelines and consistently meeting ambitious targets. I’ve designed end-to-end recruitment processes, including structured interviews, candidate experience models, and diversity sourcing strategies.

As an EMEA project lead, I led a team of 10 to standardise and optimise interview processes globally, improving efficiency and reducing hiring bottlenecks. I also increased the senior interviewer pool by 157%, significantly accelerating hiring.

I collaborate closely with hiring managers and L&D teams to solve recruitment challenges, delivering training, workshops, and tools to improve hiring quality and alignment. My approach is data-driven, focused on improving pass-through rates, identifying inefficiencies, and optimising performance.

I bring strong expertise in talent mapping and innovative sourcing, using methods such as Google Scholar, technical portfolios, and code challenges to identify and engage top engineering talent globally.
