What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic HR role focused on talent development, culture transformation, and scalable HR operations where I can drive data-informed people solutions and measurable retention improvements.

I am an HR Business Partner with 10 years of regional experience across Latin America, specializing in talent management, organizational development, and cultural transformation. I lead strategic projects in market expansion, process optimization, talent retention, and Employer of Record (EOR) implementations.

At Milwaukee Tool I scaled the workforce significantly, implemented a centralized EOR across 15 countries, and developed programs that reduced turnover while improving operational efficiency. I apply data-driven HR practices, build dashboards for recruitment and onboarding metrics, and deliver actionable insights to senior leadership.

I am passionate about creating healthy organizational cultures and enhancing employee experience through sustainable, well-targeted actions. I bring practical, compliance-aware HR operations experience and a strategic mindset to workforce planning, employee relations, and leadership development.
