At Varo Bank, I lead a team of talent professionals, collaborating closely with executives and hiring managers to understand business needs and develop effective recruitment strategies. I take pride in my ability to negotiate complex compensation packages and implement innovative HR projects that enhance company culture and employee engagement. My previous roles have equipped me with strong program leadership, presentation, and executive communication skills, enabling me to drive successful hiring initiatives.
