What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise to drive organizational success and foster a positive workplace culture.

I am a results-oriented HR professional with over fifteen years of experience, specializing in HR strategy, talent management, leadership, organizational development, and HR operations. My journey has taken me across various industries, where I have successfully led key HR initiatives, including digitalized processes and policy revamping. With eight years of international experience, I have collaborated closely with CEOs on business strategy and decision-making, ensuring that HR practices align with organizational goals.

In my recent role as Head of HR at LCI Polyester, I have focused on enhancing talent management and employee engagement while driving compliance with labor laws. Previously, as Head HR Corporate at Descon Companies, I spearheaded strategic HR initiatives that improved business effectiveness and employee engagement, achieving a 20% reduction in attrition rates. My commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture and implementing change management strategies has consistently led to improved employee satisfaction and productivity.
