What I'm looking for

I seek HR leadership roles driving strategic people initiatives, HR transformation, and measurable improvements in retention, engagement, and operational excellence.

I am a Strategic HR Manager with over 10 years of HR experience, including 7+ years in senior HR management, focused on aligning people strategies with business goals to boost performance and culture.

I have led HR operations across UAE and GCC for multi-branch organizations, managing payroll, compliance, recruitment, and employee lifecycle for teams of 300–500+ staff.

My accomplishments include redesigning HR policies that reduced turnover by 15%, implementing performance management linking KPIs to business objectives, and leading HR digital transformation for data-driven decisions.

I am pursuing a CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management to deepen strategic leadership capabilities and continue delivering HR transformation, retention strategies, and strong people-focused cultures.
