HR leader at Innotek LLC who built the HR function from zero and cut processing time by 50% at ‘Base Metals’ CJSC.

At Innotek LLC, I built the HR function from zero, establishing policies, procedures, employee documentation, and governance frameworks. I also designed the company’s first organizational structure and set up compliant leave, attendance, payroll, and employee data processes.

At ‘Base Metals’ CJSC, I led HR for a company of more than 1,300 employees and a team of 15. I automated manual HR processes, reducing processing time by 50%, and supported workforce operations through COVID-19 and wartime conditions.

Across my HR work, I’ve contributed to recruitment, employee retention, compensation and benefits, and KPI- and bonus-based reward systems. I’m continuing to expand my knowledge in people analytics, AI, and the connection between people strategy, performance, and business outcomes.
