What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead HR operations and transformation across multi-site, high-compliance environments—building workforce strategy, dashboards, and talent systems that improve engagement, retention, and industrial relations.

I’m a strategic HR leader with 10+ years of experience designing and implementing scalable workforce strategies across mining, engineering, education, and public sector organisations. SHRM-SCP certified, I focus on HR transformation, talent acquisition, performance management, industrial relations, compliance governance, and HR digitalisation—especially where multi-site teams must operate under tight regulatory and operational demands.

Currently, I lead HR operations at Tesla Electrical & Automation across major mining projects for Newmont Ahafo and AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi, managing distributed technical workforces across high-compliance environments. I’ve designed and deployed HR policies, KPI dashboards, performance evaluation systems, and employee retention frameworks to strengthen workforce accountability and engagement, while also reviewing and renegotiating supplier and employment contracts to improve compliance posture and achieve measurable cost control improvements.

Previously, I served as Senior HR Manager at Ghana TVET Service, developing and executing HR strategy aligned with technical and vocational education transformation initiatives and improving recruitment structure, staff competency, and employee relations through stronger grievance resolution systems. I’ve also delivered corporate training programs through Knowledge Tree Training and built compliance-focused HR foundations earlier as an HR Manager, including performance appraisal and staff development, policy updates aligned with the Ghana Labour Act, and competitive benefits design to support retention.
