I am a CIPD-qualified HR professional with over 11 years' experience delivering strategic and operational HR across multinational, SME, and non-profit organisations. I specialise in aligning people strategies to business objectives through data-led decision making and policy optimisation.
In my current role as Senior HR Business Partner I lead HR for EMEA and APAC, supporting around 300 people and implementing HRIS, LMS, workflow automation and Power BI reporting to surface actionable insights. I have led salary benchmarking, total rewards reviews, workforce planning and international hiring via EoRs.
