Education

With 20+ years across North America, EMEA, and APAC, I'm a global recruiting and people leader who partners with executives on talent and org strategy — building scalable operating models, metrics-driven planning, and high-performing teams that deliver results at pace.
As Global Recruiting Director at Meta, I've built and led multi-region recruiting organizations supporting Product XFN hiring (Analytics, Product, TPM, Product Design, UXR, Content Design) across NA/EMEA/APAC.
After relocating to Israel in 2017, I built Meta's local recruiting team through 10x site growth, expanded to lead Product recruiting across EMEA and APAC, and most recently took on global Product recruiting leadership.
Previously, I held leadership roles at GoPro, Airbnb, Red Hat, and Google — strengthening my approach to executive partnership, operating rigor, and people-first leadership across the talent lifecycle.
