Maria Alejandra Moreno Aguirre
@mariaalejandramoreno1
I build data-driven talent and organisational solutions for fast-growing businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've guided leaders at UBITS through talent calibration, succession planning, organisational design, and talent reviews aligned with business strategy.
I redesigned talent reviews to reduce session time by 30%, built dashboards for performance, learning, and leadership KPIs, and increased individual development plan adoption from 53% to 89%. I also launched leadership and mentoring programmes with strong participant results.
Through consulting projects for Zara, Anabion, and Suntory, I've applied AI, people analytics, and change management to solve workforce challenges. I'm currently completing a Master's in Talent Development & HR at IE Business School.
