What I'm looking for

I seek a senior People Operations/HR leadership role where I can scale global teams, lead M&A integrations, build data‑driven HR systems, and partner with executives to drive culture and retention.

I am a Strategic People Operations executive with 15 years of experience building and scaling global organizations, advising CEOs and boards, and leading complex M&A integrations. I combine deep HR expertise with operational, legal, and financial acumen to design organizations, systems, and cultures that drive performance and measurable outcomes.

I have scaled teams from ~35 to 250+ employees, led global expansion across North America, Europe, and Asia‑Pacific, and implemented data‑driven people strategies that improved retention, engagement, and operational efficiency. I prioritize building high‑trust organizations, developing leaders, and delivering results through workforce planning, DEI initiatives, and robust talent and compensation frameworks.
