About Oliver

With over 17 years of experience in Talent Acquisition rooted in top-tier agency work and evolved through senior in-house leadership,I specialize in building high-impact tech and product teams across the globe.

I have recently finished my work with Bain & Company. I was leading global Technology, Data, and Product hiring. I’ve built recruitment engines from scratch, optimized complex hiring processes, and partnered directly with senior stakeholders to attract world-class talent. From scaling Google Cloud Platform teams to driving DEI-focused strategies across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. I bring a blend of strategic vision and hands-on delivery.

What sets me apart is my foundation in sales-driven recruitment, combined with a deep understanding of technical hiring, candidate experience, and people management. I believe in smarter, more human-centered hiring, where talent strategy directly supports business growth.

More recently I have enjoyed embracing new Technology to improve metrics like time to hire and interview conversion ratio by building custom GPT's for the recruiting team to use to find the best talent more quickly.

I’m not just here to fill roles: I build talent ecosystems. From startups scaling fast, to enterprise firms transforming digitally, I align hiring strategy with business goals to ensure long-term impact. I pride myself on my ability to diagnose talent challenges, design solutions, and act swiftly to secure top-tier professionals in fiercely competitive markets.
