Description

I've helped founders, CTOs, and people leaders across fintech, insurtech, cybersecurity, healthtech, digital marketing and beyond hire Python developers, data scientists, ML engineers, and AI talent who stay, perform, and grow with your company—across the UK, Europe, and Africa.

With 10-day average contract placements, 100% offer acceptance rate, and permanent hires averaging 2.5 years tenure (vs. the UK tech average of 1.6 years), I deliver speed without sacrificing quality or team dynamics.

As co-founder of the Black Recruiters Network and an active member in numerous tech communities, I reach underrepresented talent others can't, while my end-to-end recruitment expertise spans sourcing strategy, inclusive hiring frameworks, talent mapping, and hiring manager training.

I'm not just a recruiter—I'm embedded in the tech community, conducting technical interviews, and showing up where your next hire already is, so you spend less time on unqualified candidates and more time speaking to the right people.
