Throughout my career, I have focused on practical solutions that align people and business goals. My leadership style is grounded in collaboration and a deep belief that when people thrive, companies do too. I have spearheaded global HR strategies, driven DEI initiatives, and transformed HR operations through innovative technologies, resulting in significant improvements in retention and operational efficiency.

With a strong educational background, including an MBA and an MS in Law, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am passionate about building strong, effective teams and fostering a culture of engagement and inclusion within organizations.
