What I'm looking for

I seek senior HR roles where I can lead talent strategy, streamline HR processes, build leadership pipelines, and align people initiatives with measurable business outcomes.

I am an HR leader with 12 years of experience delivering talent management, organizational development, and process engineering across fintech, software, hospitality, education, oil & gas, manufacturing, and telecom sectors. I have led company restructurings, implemented OKR and Balanced Scorecard frameworks, standardized compensation, automated HR operations, and reduced time-to-fill and SLA breaches through data-driven workforce planning.

I excel at building HR governance, succession planning, cross-border performance processes, and scalable recruitment systems that improve candidate experience and regulatory compliance. I bring a pragmatic, people-centered approach focused on aligning employee growth with business results and enabling leadership continuity.
