After graduating in Psychology, from Royal Holloway, University of London, Luchele began applying what she learned to consult, advise & influence the most brilliant minds in Drug Discovery & Non Invasive Technology.
Beginning her recruitment journey in the pharmaceutical industry, she honed her people skills at industry giants like Novartis, Amgen & Johnson & Johnson, creating transformative teams at the very infancy of AI in health: Data Driven Drug Discovery & Wearable Technology.
At Novartis, her work was defined by transformative placements that didn’t just meet immediate needs but reshaped entire technological ecosystems. A prime example was when a Principal Engineer she placed became a pivotal moment of strategic talent development. Within a year, the professional was promoted to Director & played a critical role in acquiring Ambyotech, a digital ophthalmic startup that expanded Novartis’ digital health capabilities.
Transitioning from Pharma to Tech world, she began honing her skills in Natural Language Processing, 2 years before the advent of ChatGPT. Here she developed new skills working with Sequoia-backed AI start-ups building teams in Conversational AI, Neural Translation & Knowledge Discovery.
Joining Search Technology in June 2024, was a strategic choice. Greatly impressed with the portfolio of clients & reputation, she joined forces with Search Technology’s extraordinarily talented team in placing the top percentile of AI researchers & engineers across Unicorn AI start-ups. In Search Technology, Luchele found a home where she could work alongside brilliant AI recruiters operating with an extraordinary level of accuracy, precision and skill, with a deep understanding of technological innovation.
She now focuses on building world-class research & engineering teams at leading AI start-ups building Foundation models, Code Generation, Agentic AI and Knowledge Discovery software. She has successfully placed AI Researchers across Foundation Model Pretraining & Conversational AI.
Beyond professional boundaries she believes in holistic personal growth and thus enjoys reading about ways to improve her focus, mindset & psychology. When not connecting with brilliant minds, you might find her experimenting in the kitchen, nurturing her garden or recharging at a techno rave.
Her ultimate dream would be to dance to electronic music with technocrats like Elon Musk at Burning Man, exchanging energy & connection with the great hive of collective human mind, as postulated by Carl Jung.
