What I'm looking for

I seek a people-centric role where I can shape employee experience, lead wellbeing and leadership programs, collaborate cross-functionally, and scale HR processes in a growth-minded, inclusive company.

I am a People Experience Manager with strong expertise in HR operations for tech-driven teams, employee well-being initiatives, and leadership development. At FINN GmbH I oversaw HR operations for ~80 employees and led the creation of a Mental Health Office that became a cornerstone of the company’s wellbeing strategy.

I bridge HR and IT by designing structured collaboration between departments, deliver strategic employment-law guidance to supervisors, and developed BEM integration management guidelines for reintegration after long-term absence. I have driven international hiring processes and continuously refine HR processes using KPIs.

I have built partnerships to enhance learning and wellbeing—bringing leadership training in-house via a Train-the-Trainer program, launching language courses, and partnering with mental-health providers—achieving cost savings and improved training effectiveness.
