Executive
Talent
Acquisition,
Together.

For over 17 years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with amazing executives across the globe, connecting them with top leaders to help their teams thrive and companies scale.

For 8 years, I was fortunate to take a seat on the rocket ship that was Facebook, in an executive talent acquisition role building a pipeline of future leaders for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

I took a key role in establishing and building the business leadership team (all non-tech functions) during a period of exponential scale, which was a fascinating and rewarding learning experience. By the time I left, the operation had grown from 2,000 to nearly 78,000 people working across multiple platforms and products including Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp; and re-branded to Meta Inc.

During 2023 I started an exciting new chapter with Talent by Sidoli.

Having led a division within a global executive search agency then nearly a decade as Executive Recruiter EMEA within an in-house executive talent function, I’ve been both a supplier and a client of agencies.  Through this 360 perspective I am uniquely positioned to help the next generation of scaleups and ambitious corporations realise their executive talent acquisition potential.

Whether that be supporting your in-house talent acquisition team with a bold new strategy to manage an increasing number of leadership hires, ensuring internal engagement from your current executive team, or more intentional talent insight programs and executive search.

Solving executive talent challenges with innovative and creative solutions to build diverse, high-performing teams is at the heart of what we do.

It’s a pleasure to connect others to opportunities where their talents will thrive for everyone’s benefit.
