What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values strategic HR initiatives and fosters employee development.

I am a dynamic and results-driven HR professional with over a decade of experience in building and managing Human Resources departments from the ground up. My expertise lies in international recruitment, talent acquisition, and HR strategy development, where I have a proven track record of aligning HR functions with organizational goals to drive business success.

Throughout my career, I have adeptly managed full-lifecycle recruitment for donor-funded projects, particularly in the International Development sector. I have led HR due diligence for mergers and acquisitions and implemented robust HR systems and processes. Recognized for my strategic partnership and leadership in HR management, I am committed to fostering a collaborative work environment that promotes employee engagement and retention.
