## About

```text
At AniCura Portugal e Galiza, I defined and executed the regional operational plan, policies, and processes across 14 hospitals and veterinary clinics. I provided strategic and operational HR support to regional operations, hospital directors, and team managers.

My work covered the employee lifecycle, including talent management, leadership training, onboarding, and organizational design. I also designed compensation policies and benefits programs and supported organizational culture and motivational climate.

I mediated labor conflicts, supervised labor legal processes and salary processing, and coordinated the hospitals' 14-person HR staff partner team.

Earlier, as Human Resources Director at Mars Portugal, I led the HR department and team and defined the HR plan, with a focus on talent development, motivation and recognition, organizational design, compensation policies, and organizational culture. My earlier Mars roles spanned logistics, supply chain, marketing, and operations in Portugal, Spain, and France.
