What I'm looking for

I'm seeking international HR, talent acquisition, or people operations opportunities in Europe, where I can apply cross-border HR, compliance, talent development, and workforce-planning experience. I'm open to relocation and EU sponsorship pathways.

I've partnered with organizations across Africa through Performance RH to build compliant, scalable HR systems. My work has included training more than 500 HR professionals, with 50% earning promotions or successful transitions.

I trained 300+ senior managers at the African Development Bank and built an HR function for a telecom company that grew from 3 to 100 employees in six months.

I've advised leaders on workforce planning, labor-law compliance, contracts, HR audits, and performance systems, while reducing time-to-hire by 30% across technical and commercial roles. I also bring hands-on coaching experience supporting professionals from graduates to executives through career transitions.

I'm completing the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management and am ready to bring my English-French bilingual perspective to international HR, talent acquisition, or people operations work in Europe.
