What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters inclusive cultures and supports strategic HR initiatives.

I have a proven track record of scaling global teams, leading M&A integrations, and supporting successful IPOs, including those of Intuitive Surgical and Standard Biotools. My ability to align HR strategies with business goals has consistently driven measurable impacts in employee engagement and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully expanded workforces, developed comprehensive HR strategies, and achieved high employee engagement scores. Notably, I scaled Standard Biotools from 27 to over 600 employees globally, contributing significantly to its market cap.
