I am a strategic workforce planning leader with over 15 years of experience in translating business priorities into actionable talent strategies. My expertise lies in establishing and scaling global workforce planning functions, leveraging advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and market intelligence to enable data-driven decisions. I am known for my ability to partner cross-functionally across HR, Finance, and Business Leadership to deliver integrated workforce solutions that optimize organizational design and reduce talent gaps.

Currently, I serve as the Strategic Workforce Planning Lead at FIS Global, where I designed and implemented the company’s first-ever Strategic Workforce Planning Center of Excellence. My efforts have resulted in significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency. I have a proven track record of leading data-driven talent planning engagements and collaborating with executive leadership to align workforce plans with budgetary targets, contributing to a reduction in operational costs while supporting growth.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led global change management initiatives and developed innovative programs that address future workforce needs.
