What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, embraces innovation, and values strategic leadership.

As a former C-suite Executive and Consultant, I am embracing a career transformation to explore new paths where my extensive leadership experience, strategic acumen, and passion for building high-performing teams can make a meaningful impact. My career highlights include leading the largest HR transformation during the Thomson Reuters/Refinitiv/LSEG M&A, which involved a $17 billion carve-out and a subsequent $27 billion sale. I have successfully managed engagements that contributed to $16 billion in enterprise value creation and improved EBITDA by 100% in less than two years.

Throughout my professional journey, I have consistently exceeded performance targets and successfully led high-impact projects for private equity clients, focusing on due diligence, transition service agreements, and organizational effectiveness. My adaptable mindset and commitment to lifelong learning position me as a dynamic candidate ready to add value from day one. I am open to internships, mentorship opportunities, and roles that allow me to grow while contributing meaningfully to a forward-thinking organization.
