What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR role where I can partner with leadership to scale talent strategy, improve employer branding, and implement data-driven HR programs in a collaborative, inclusive environment.

I am a dynamic HR Business Partner with 10 years of international experience across Australia, Turkey, and Germany, specializing in global talent strategy, organizational development, employer branding, and performance management. I have a proven track record delivering end-to-end recruitment, building talent pipelines, leading diversity and engagement initiatives, and implementing HR systems like SAP HCM, SuccessFactors and IFS.

I partner closely with leadership to align HR initiatives with business objectives, coach hiring managers, and design structured, competency-based hiring and performance processes. My strengths include stakeholder management, data-driven HR analytics, succession planning, and hands-on experience with ATS and sourcing tools to streamline recruitment and improve candidate experience.
