What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise to foster a positive workplace culture and drive organizational success.

I am a dedicated and results-driven senior Human Resources professional with over 6 years of comprehensive experience in steering end-to-end people functions for dynamic startups. My strategic and hands-on leadership style has enabled me to align HR initiatives with organizational objectives, fostering high-performing teams and a positive workplace culture.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed HR functions for multiple companies, spearheading the establishment of HR systems from the ground up in early-stage startups. I have implemented effective talent attraction and retention strategies, significantly increasing workforce numbers while ensuring compliance with local legal norms. My commitment to employee wellness and engagement has been particularly evident during the transition to remote work environments, where I organized various initiatives to support employee experience.
