What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values authentic culture, strategic growth, and offers opportunities for professional development.

Hi, I’m Leontina. With roots in HR leadership across startups and corporates, I’m passionate about authentic culture, clear strategy, and creating impactful HR functions. Currently, I lead the People & Culture strategy while managing Customer Care and Telesales teams, optimizing performance and enhancing employee engagement.

Throughout my career, I have built and scaled core HR operations, implemented modern HRIS and ATS systems, and defined people strategies that align with business objectives. My experience includes successfully reducing turnover by 30% and achieving 7% annual engagement growth. I thrive on fostering a value-driven culture and driving data-informed decisions.
