About Cisely

I'm an Employer Branding and Recruitment Marketing leader with 10+ years of in-house experience at Dell Technologies, where I led strategy across 20+ EMEA markets.

I help organizations build employer brands that attract the right talent, combining EVP strategy, paid and organic campaigns, and recruitment marketing that converts. My background spans both HR and Marketing, which means I understand the business case as well as the creative execution.

Previous work includes a diversity campaign generating 26M+ impressions and 66% female audience reach, and scaling a new R&D hub to 200+ engineering hires in under four months.

Available for freelance projects, interim roles, and consulting engagements across Europe.
