Summary
I help high growth tech companies scale. Go-to market/customer
facing and technical recruiting. I prefer to partner with clients and
act as an extension of their team. The closer that I get to the hiring
manager, the easier it is for me to find the right talent. I prefer to
focus on outreach, especially for tech. Not a huge fan of relying on
inbound only activity.
Working in various industries has given me the ability to respond
to a variety of challenges, resourceful and efficient at balancing
competing priorities and provide innovative solutions to yield
the best results. As a result, I understand workforce planning
and I am capable building high performing teams. With a strong
understanding of global cultures and companies, I am fluent in
Spanish.
