Message

At Catapult Print & Packaging (UK/Americas), I developed and implemented the HR department, including its policies, procedures, and programs. I partner with executive leadership and managers on workforce strategy, employee relations, and compliance.

During a critical transition, I helped stabilize plant operations, reduce make-ready waste, and meet quality standards and KPIs. I also led the launch of a new UK office and studio in 2023. Earlier, as Co-Owner of Santos Advisory Group, I conducted ISO 9000 QMS audits and helped clients improve quality processes and prepare for certification.
