What I'm looking for
I am a strategic HR leader with multi-country experience building and scaling compliant HR operations for global, distributed teams. I have led HR functions from scratch, scaled headcount rapidly, and partnered with senior leadership across organizational design, workforce planning, and talent development.
At PwC Service Delivery Center I built scalable HR operations for a remote-first organization, contributing to placement in Forbes Top 50 Employers in Ukraine (2023) through resilient HR programs, analytics-driven interventions, and strong stakeholder partnering. Previously, I established HR functions for VEON, Fujikura Automotive, and Commercial Vehicle Group, delivering rapid growth, recruitment hubs, and cross-border compliance.
I bring data-led decision making, hands-on execution, and a passion for culture, engagement, and DEI. I hold ICF coaching and CIPD Level 5 credentials and am proficient with HRIS/ATS/LMS (Workday, SAP), analytics tools (Power BI, advanced Excel), and collaboration platforms.
