What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR or people leadership role where I can build scalable talent strategies, drive recruitment excellence, align people programs with business goals, and foster an inclusive, data-driven culture focused on development and retention.

I am a results-driven HR leader with broad experience in talent acquisition, employee relations, and people strategy across LATAM, the U.S., and global markets. I have built and scaled HR teams, implemented ATS and HRIS systems, and standardized processes to enable data-driven decision-making.

My career highlights include designing global recruiting strategies, reducing turnover, delivering significant regional budget savings, and increasing placement rates by transitioning from agency providers. I lead performance cycles using KPIs and OKRs, oversee compensation and ESOP programs, and implement onboarding and engagement initiatives that strengthen culture.

I partner with executives and cross-functional stakeholders to align people programs with business objectives, ensure compliance with labor laws, and create exceptional candidate and employee experiences focused on retention, development, and measurable impact.
