License to Fill: Finding Leaders & Hidden Talent
United Kingdom
Finding the right words has always been the work.
I'm a published African author of prose and poetry and a Senior International Talent Acquisition Partner. I recruit for 1Password, the enterprise identity security platform trusted by 180,000+ businesses and 30% of the Fortune 100 to secure access across every human identity, machine identity, and AI agent in their environment. As organisations embrace AI and distributed work, identity has become the new security perimeter. I help build the teams shaping its future.
I specialise in Go-to-Market and technical hiring across EMEA and North America, placing exceptional professionals in Enterprise Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Sales Leadership, Channel Partnerships, Engineering, Marketing, and Operations. My experience spans SaaS, cybersecurity, aerospace, aviation, customs technology, and high-volume environments. I find the people who are right, not just the ones who are available.
My Business Development background shapes every search. I partner with founders, CROs, and HR leaders to build talent strategies aligned to commercial objectives: talent mapping, competitive intelligence, employer branding, workforce planning, and data-driven sourcing to get ahead of hiring needs rather than react to them.
I'm AI-native. I use AI to sharpen Boolean search, accelerate sourcing, design better interview frameworks, automate workflows, and improve candidate experience at every touchpoint. The technology makes the work smarter. Human judgment still closes the hire.
DEI is embedded in how I design every hiring stage, from job brief to offer. Inclusive hiring is not a programme running alongside the work. It is the work.
Every candidate deserves to leave a process feeling respected and genuinely considered, regardless of outcome.
Outside recruitment, I write prose and poetry. Storytelling shapes how I listen, ask better questions, and find the talent others miss.
