What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent acquisition, onboarding, HR operations, or global mobility programs where I can build compliant, data-driven workforce processes for complex projects.

I've led high-volume onboarding and talent acquisition for Dutco Constructions and Larsen & Toubro, supporting complex infrastructure and mega-projects including NEOM, EWEC, DEWA, Dubai Square Mall, Port De La Mer, and Bulgari Lighthouse.

At Dutco Constructions, I onboarded 340+ skilled professionals in two months, built a three-person onboarding function, and introduced KPIs, SLAs, workflows, and weekly inductions for up to 45 hires per session.

At Larsen & Toubro, I recruited niche technical talent across four design engineering offices, screened 300+ applicants, and developed an Emiratization roadmap that avoided AED 1.3M in penalties.

I've also onboarded 450+ employees across six departments, improved onboarding turnaround time by 35%, processed payroll inputs with zero errors, and use analytics, HR systems, and compliance knowledge to support workforce planning.
