Director Talent Acquisition Europe, Africa & Latin America (EALA) @ I lead recruitment across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It’s a huge, diverse talent pool which reflects the changing technology landscape and our changing organisation. Avanade is one of the most diverse companies I have worked for and it’s driving diversity forward. Having grown up in a multi-cultural and role-reversed family, that’s important to me. It’s our people and their enthusiasm that makes this a great place to work. Avanade is only 15 years old and many people have been here since the start, so there’s a lot of ownership and accountability, and with Microsoft and Accenture as our backers, we have a strong market position and an even bigger ambition. And we have a clear path on how to achieve it. We operate at the cutting edge of technology, which powers our double-digit growth. As technology leaders, we are used to change. We create change. If there’s a common attribute among Avanade people, it’s self-motivation to realize results.
