What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global people operations where AI and data-driven People Analytics optimize recruitment, compliance, and operational P&L—partnering with the C-Suite to future-proof high-performance organizations.

I’m a strategic, results-oriented People Operations and Strategy leader with 7+ years of experience scaling high-growth technology organizations. I architect international HR infrastructures and drive cross-border compliance across 8+ jurisdictions, advising the C-Suite as a vital strategic partner.

At Lets Deel Spain S.L.U, I lead global workforce architecture across 8 countries while maintaining 100% legal and fiscal compliance via the Deel ecosystem. I spearhead AI-driven workflows for recruitment and People Analytics, oversee operational budgets and international payment flows (Stripe, Revolut Business), and use productivity data (Apploye) to build burnout prevention strategies and justify workforce expansion.
