What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global HR and payroll transformations—building compliant workforce operating models, strengthening Industrial Relations governance, and using HR analytics to drive measurable productivity, speed, and audit-ready controls.

I’m a business-focused HR and Payroll leader with 20+ years of experience combining strategic global HR leadership with hands-on operational execution in manufacturing shopfloor environments. My work centers on workforce transformation, payroll governance, HR shared services, compliance, and complex Industrial Relations—especially union negotiations and long/short-term settlements—while driving Lean Six Sigma improvements.

As a Principal HR Consultant for Global HR & Workforce Transformation and Payroll/HR Operations, I spearhead multi-jurisdictional HRO and enterprise payroll transformation initiatives, ensuring seamless system integrations, standardized controls, and audit readiness. I also design HR operating models and executive-level HRO frameworks, and I strengthen decision-making through workforce dashboards and analytics across recruitment, payroll, attrition, productivity, and compliance.
