@alexandratrapeznikov
People Operations and L&D leader scaling teams with learning systems and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven People Operations and L&D leader with 12+ years of experience scaling teams and building learning systems that drive measurable performance. I founded and scaled two profitable businesses—an EdTech agency and an HR agency for e-commerce sellers—building full-cycle processes from hiring to onboarding and 90-day performance tracking.
In my roles, I’ve designed KPI frameworks, onboarding systems, and knowledge-sharing structures across multi-GEO teams, improving productivity and revenue outcomes (including a 25% productivity increase within 6 months and a 20% revenue uplift through cross-functional alignment). I bring a practical, unit-economics mindset to hiring and training, and I actively share how I apply AI tools in HR through speaking and public education.
