What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR role where I can lead people strategy, build HR capability, drive culture and compliance, and use data to improve engagement and retention.

I am a strategic HR leader with 10+ years of progressive experience supporting high-growth clients and companies across the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and the UAE. I bring calm, balanced judgment in complex people situations and guide leaders with clarity, fairness, and data-backed insight.

My strengths span HR business partnering, organizational development and leadership coaching, employee and labor relations, and building HR capability, structure, and culture from the ground up. I have led HR strategy and large-scale HRIS transitions, driven Great Place to Work® initiatives, and delivered measurable improvements in engagement, retention, and compliance.

I have hands-on operational experience from frontline roles to managing people strategy for thousands of employees, and I mentor HR teams to improve consistency in employee relations, compliance, and data-driven decision making.
