Senior HR Business Partner with 10+ years advising leaders on Spanish employment law and data-driven HR operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior HR Business Partner with 10+ years’ experience as a strategic advisor to senior leadership in fast-paced, multi-site environments. I bring deep expertise in Spanish employment law, Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), and complex employee relations cases—including grievances, disciplinary actions, tribunal processes, and litigation-risk management.
I design and embed performance management cycles, D&I initiatives, engagement and wellbeing strategies, and regional benefits programmes. I’m data-driven and process-oriented, with strong HRMS and payroll data integrity—and I actively integrate AI tools to refine HR operations across EMEA & Global People & Culture teams.
In my current role as People Partner at Grupo Minersa, I coach and influence executives on performance and complex people decisions while ensuring strict legal and CBA alignment. Previously, as People Partner & Founder of Konexio (Dative Partners, S.L.), I built the full HR function from scratch and led cross-border talent mobility operations, immigration compliance, and benefits across multiple EMEA jurisdictions.
