What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead scalable people operations, employee lifecycle, onboarding, HRIS, and process-improvement work in a growing organization where data, compliance, and employee experience are valued.

At Kuda, I built the company’s first structured onboarding framework from scratch, scaling it across 200+ hires and increasing new-hire satisfaction by 80%.

I’ve led end-to-end HR operations across fintech and oil and gas, from employee lifecycle administration, performance management, HRIS reporting, and employee relations to compliance, payroll, and engagement programs. I use workforce data, feedback loops, and practical process design to turn ad hoc people operations into consistent, scalable workflows.

I’m currently advancing my SPHRi and Lean Six Sigma certifications while continuing to improve employee experience, operational readiness, and manager effectiveness.
