What I'm looking for

I’m seeking work aligned with business transformation, career growth, and future skills, advising leaders and HR partners on workforce readiness, organizational change, learning, and talent strategies.

At Mubadala Investment Company, I led the Learning Acceleration for Business (LAB), directing strategy, operations, budgets, and delivery for 1,100+ employees. I designed and improved 130+ annual programs and built development experiences for emerging leaders, professionals, and internal facilitators.

As an independent leadership development advisor, I advise senior leaders and HR partners on workforce readiness, organizational change, learning, and talent strategies. Earlier, I established the HR and Training function at AXA Life Insurance Company, serving 180 employees and 250 agency partners, and developed curricula and an internal trainer program.
