What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead people strategy, scale tech-enabled HR solutions, mentor teams, and drive measurable improvements in retention and performance within mission-driven organizations.

I am a strategic HR leader and consultant with 10 years of progressive experience transforming people operations across multi-site, regulated, and fast-moving organizations in construction, IT, outsourcing, and education. I founded and lead Zarlia Advisory, delivering HR consulting and talent solutions that embed ethical, scalable people systems.

My work includes building recruitment frameworks, performance management systems (KPIs, 360°, PIPs), workforce planning, and HR governance that improve productivity, retention, and leadership pipelines. I have practical experience implementing tech-enabled, data-driven HR solutions and delivering HR analytics and reporting to inform decision-making.

I convene the HR Career Guidance Program and mentor through initiatives like GMI Girls, supporting career development for 100+ professionals and young women. I hold CIPM certification, SHRM-SCP (in view), an MBA in Management, and a Diploma in Data Science and AI.
