What I'm looking for

I seek a senior HR role where I can align people strategy with business goals, drive talent development, improve HR operations through data and automation, and contribute to a collaborative, growth-focused culture.

I am a strategic senior HR professional with progressive experience partnering with executives to align people strategy with business growth. I have led full-cycle HR operations, talent acquisition, performance management, employee engagement, and change management across multiple sectors, delivering measurable improvements in recruitment turnaround, retention, and operational compliance.

I built HR functions from scratch, implemented HRIS and automation, launched training programs and succession planning, and negotiated better employee benefits while ensuring regulatory compliance. My achievements include reducing turnover, standardizing policies, launching skills development initiatives, and improving offshore staff management.
