What I'm looking for

I seek strategic HR roles where I can drive performance, implement lean operations, develop talent, ensure compliance, and partner with leadership in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization focused on measurable impact.

I am a dedicated Human Resource Business Partner who aligns HR functions with business objectives to improve productivity and operational outcomes. I combine HR strategy with hands-on operational experience across corporate and field environments.

At Zoomlion I led HR strategy development and implementation, introduced lean management practices to improve profitability, managed performance appraisal systems, and advised management on legal compliance. I design and monitor training programs and deliver HR metrics to inform leadership decisions.

Before focusing on HR, I managed operations and projects—supervising waste management operations, optimizing fleet usage, developing new revenue streams, and coordinating stakeholder relationships to execute contracts effectively. I also led COVID-19 disinfection efforts and maintained safety compliance across teams.

I bring research, communication, and training experience from roles in media and field research, backed by an MSc in Strategic Planning and Management and HR certifications. I seek to apply my blend of strategic HR, operational leadership, and capacity-building skills to drive measurable impact.
