What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR role focused on talent development, engagement, and measurable impact in a multicultural, growth-oriented organization.

I am a human resources professional with over 15 years of international experience leading talent management, learning and development, and employee engagement initiatives across Europe and South America. I have designed and implemented leadership programs, coordinated large-scale engagement surveys, managed annual performance and talent review cycles (9-box), and led succession planning and talent analytics to align people development with business goals.

Throughout my career I have managed portfolios of 30+ HR projects, launched recognition and wellness programs, and supported HR operations in manufacturing, energy, retail, and corporate environments. I thrive in dynamic multicultural settings, focus on measurable impact, and enjoy helping people unlock potential through structured development, data-driven insights, and inclusive practices.
