What I'm looking for

I’m seeking hybrid or remote roles where I can scale engineering delivery, align strategy with execution, build lightweight processes, and develop leaders in a collaborative, data-driven culture.

I am a Senior People Business Partner with a C# engineering background who bridges Developer and Business languages to scale delivery systems and improve organizational flow. I specialize in aligning strategy, implementing lightweight processes from onboarding to OKR planning, and fostering a culture of radical candor and trust.

I have led large-scale transformations for organizations of 300–700+ people, improving deployment frequency by 50%, reducing lead time from 70 to 55 days, and cutting involuntary turnover from 43% to 21%. I build delivery management metrics, streamline onboarding, and enable leaders through training frameworks that shift teams toward product autonomy and ROI focus.

I apply Lean Six Sigma and Value Stream optimization to identify bottlenecks and accelerate outcomes, and I’m experienced with tools like Notion, Miro, Jira, Grafana, Postman, and Tableau. I hold a Spanish Digital Nomad residence with full right to work and can be engaged directly or via EOR.
