What I'm looking for

Workplace strategy and operations role leading a global or regional portfolio and setting/improving the basics: data, governance, frameworks and employee experience satisfaction. Hybrid to remote first within the EU or Asia, with travels to have a direct impact with regional/global stakeholders.

Currently based in London, but actively planning to relocate back to the EU.

At Haleon, I lead workplace strategy and performance across 98 locations in more than 40 countries. I created and lead a global Workplace Experience Survey across 80+ sites and 26,000+ employees, using feedback and workplace data to identify experience gaps.

I personally led the London HQ expansion from approximately 850 to 1,250 people across six floors. Attendance increased by 35% without a mandate, and workplace experience satisfaction improved by 15%.

Previously, at LEESMAN (HqO), I ran workplace assessment and research programmes for clients across Europe, Asia and North America, and led a team of three project managers. I’ve also worked on employee experience research at ENTAIN and supplier and logistics operations at CAPGEMINI.
