What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with leadership on LATAM HR operations—combining compliant employee services, continuous improvement, and talent acquisition—to elevate employee experience and operational efficiency in a multinational, people-first environment.

I’m a Strategic HR professional and International Business Administrator focused on HR Operations, HR Business Partnering, and Talent Acquisition in multinational environments. I partner with leadership teams to support regional people processes across Colombia, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Peru.

In my current role, I act as an HR Operations partner for leadership teams and lead the Occupational Health & Safety function, managing a team of 5 professionals. I ensure regulatory compliance through audits and continuous improvement initiatives aligned with corporate and legal standards.

I lead regional training, induction, and re-induction programs, and oversee ergonomic and employee wellbeing initiatives. I also manage key operational processes, including rehiring validations, conflicts of interest, and leave management, while supporting CSR and internal compliance audits.

I’ve delivered end-to-end recruitment across multiple countries and built proactive talent pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter. Earlier roles included recruitment process optimization, employer branding and university fairs, and HR reporting support, including achieving a 92.4% Occupational Health & Safety compliance rate certified by the ARL.
