Message

At Bird (previously MessageBird), I supported employees across Commercial and Engineering as a People Partner, while providing People Operations support to a remote-first workforce. I executed the transfer of 80+ employees across 22 countries to Deel without disrupting payroll, local contracts, or benefits.

Earlier at Bird, I built the global People Operations onboarding framework and knowledge base, and implemented Zendesk workflows. I also managed employee relations, Dutch immigration and mobility, multi-country payroll coordination, and HR operations; before that, I worked in talent acquisition at Bird and Spotzer Media Group.
