FOUNDER & HR Partner

After more than a decade at Peak, where I had the privilege of being part of an incredible journey, I gained a deep understanding of how teams grow from the ground up within the fast-paced gaming and tech landscape.

Having reviewed thousands of profiles and conducted hundreds of interviews, I've worked closely with teams across Product, Marketing, Art, Engineering, CX, and beyond. These years allowed me to see that recruitment is far more than just filling positions—it's about connecting people with opportunities where they can truly thrive and helping companies build teams that grow stronger together.

I realized that real impact happens when hiring and career growth become strategic functions that blend deep people insight with long-term business goals.

With that vision, I founded YouRiseUp—a platform designed to bridge the gap between talent and industry, with a clear focus on building skills, driving ambition, and scaling success.
