What I'm looking for

I seek senior HR roles where I can lead digital HR transformation, improve retention and employee experience, drive ISO/compliance work, and build strategic HR partnerships in a collaborative, impact-driven organization.

I am an accomplished Human Resources and business development leader with over 30 years of experience building human capital, employer relationships, and HR systems across international markets.

I have engineered HR digital transformation initiatives that reduced onboarding time and improved employee retention and satisfaction, and I have led ISO 9001:2015 internal audit and implementation efforts.

My experience spans executive HR leadership, general management, sector-level HR audits for large contractors, and long-term operational HR roles focused on recruitment, training, industrial relations, and labor law compliance.

I have organized international trade shows and events, managed public relations and CSR activities, led HR teams, negotiated contracts and financial arrangements, and continuously pursued improvements in workforce planning and risk management.
