Talent and Organisational Management to Impactful Stories
My Professional Background
I am a Project and Operations, Talent Management, and Learning and Development professional with over a decade of global experience spanning South Africa, South Korea, Georgia, and the United States. My expertise lies in operations management, organisational development, and cross-cultural leadership, with a strong foundation in recruitment, education leadership, and communications.
Currently, I serve as Project & Operations Coordinator at Tall Giraffe Video, where I manage client projects from onboarding to delivery. I oversee systems, timelines, and communication, ensuring smooth execution and freeing up creative leadership to focus on strategy and design. This role has strengthened my ability to keep fast-paced, creative environments structured, efficient, and client-focused.
I am also the founder of Talent Atlas, a consulting platform that helps professionals navigate career transitions through CV and LinkedIn optimisation, personal branding, and tailored coaching. Alongside this, I write for GoodViral, producing research-driven articles on social impact, ethical storytelling, and innovation.
Previously, as Head of People and Organisational Development at Son’s Edu in South Korea, I launched and led a global HR department, built international recruitment pipelines, and managed operations across nine campuses supporting over 7,000 students and 100 staff. I also directed international hiring and operations for OrangeCat Global, leading global staffing for creative teams across Asia, South America, and Africa, while managing brand strategy and remote workflows.
At Apsida Life Science, I specialised in talent mapping and recruitment for CDMO organisations across the UK, EU, and North America. Earlier roles include leadership positions in academic institutions and NGOs in Europe, Georgia, and the US, where I gained experience in programme management, education strategy, and intercultural collaboration.
My leadership style blends structure with empathy. I thrive on building efficient systems, coaching managers, streamlining operations, and leading projects that align people and purpose.

Talent Atlas
I started Talent Atlas to help job seekers tell their stories in a way that is both strategic and human. After years of working in global HR, education, and recruitment, I saw how many talented people were being overlooked simply because their CVs and LinkedIn profiles weren’t aligned with what hiring teams and systems were really looking for.
Talent Atlas offers career consulting with a personal touch. Whether you're updating your CV, refining your LinkedIn profile, or navigating your next career move, I help you craft materials that connect with both people and technology. This is about clarity, confidence, and positioning yourself for the opportunities you deserve.
