What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovative HR practices and supports organizational growth.

I am an accomplished Senior HR Professional with over a decade of experience in strategic workforce planning, performance management, and talent development. My career has been marked by a proven track record of leading HR initiatives that align with business goals, resulting in significant enhancements in employee engagement and leadership culture. I am eager to leverage my extensive HR knowledge to drive organizational growth and foster a thriving workplace environment.

In my current role as a Senior HR Advisor and Leadership Trainer at Lincoln Centers of Albania, I successfully developed and led a cross-departmental HR project that established a unified employee policy framework across the organization. My strategic advisory on change management has improved merger integration success by 25%, while my redesign of the performance evaluation process has led to a 10% increase in employee productivity. I am particularly proud of catalyzing a diversity and inclusion program that elevated underrepresented groups in leadership positions by 15%.

Previously, as HR Director at Balfin Group, I implemented innovative recruitment strategies that increased the flow of qualified candidates by 30%. My leadership in succession planning resulted in a 30% year-over-year increase in internal promotions. I have consistently focused on aligning workforce planning with strategic objectives, achieving a 90% fulfillment rate for key technical positions. My commitment to enhancing employee satisfaction and retention has been a driving force throughout my career.
