What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead talent acquisition, HR operations, training, and people strategies that strengthen workforce capability, employee engagement, organizational culture, and sustainable business growth.

I've led recruitment, training, and HR operations at Protea Hotel by Marriott, improving time-to-hire by 30% while delivering training for 40+ employees that shortened onboarding time by 50%.

Across Rygth Trade Investment, OTP Internet Technology, Continental Satellite, and Lorache, I've built talent pipelines, strengthened performance management, administered payroll and benefits, and improved workforce capability across fintech, ICT, consulting, hospitality, media, FMCG, and corporate environments.

I partner with leadership to align people strategies with business goals, from recruiting 50+ roles and managing HR operations for 150+ employees to implementing initiatives that improve productivity, retention, compliance, and employee experience.

I'm driven by practical HR systems, strong candidate and employee experiences, and sustainable organizational growth.
