What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead international talent acquisition and remote-based operations, drive HR innovation and shape people-first policies in a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a solution-driven HR professional with extensive experience delivering talent acquisition, HR operations and talent management across Europe, the USA and MEA. I have led end-to-end recruitment, workforce planning and employer branding initiatives while partnering with senior leadership and local managers.

As HR Country Lead for Italy & Spain and Talent Acquisition Manager, I designed the company’s first global Employee Referral Program, optimized ATS and recruitment workflows, and led manager training to reduce bias and strengthen competency-based interviewing. I manage HR operations and employee relations in coordination with local payroll providers and adapt global HR processes to local regulations.

I am passionate about HR innovation, internal communication and people development, and have driven projects such as FlexiFriday, internal communications tools and a freelance workforce database while supporting performance management, compensation and reorganisations.
