Serena De Benedetti
@serenadebenedetti
I build pragmatic people strategies across technology, consulting, and multinational organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've led HR transformation at Etjca Group, strengthening talent acquisition, launching performance management, defining Smart Working policy, and managing complex employee and industrial relations. I coordinate a team of six while building career ladders and supporting the Group's ESG roadmap.
At Techtronic Industries Italia, supporting Milwaukee, Ryobi and AEG, I led the full Italian HR agenda and delivered a new talent and performance system, salary-range harmonization, succession planning, onboarding, HR software and Smart Working policies. I helped grow hiring by 60% in two years while reducing turnover to below 8%.
Across Prima Assicurazioni, Primeur Group, XTphere and CSP, I've built and scaled HR functions, introduced remote-work models, standardized international processes, implemented HR systems, and supported growth, restructuring and acquisitions. I bring a pragmatic, business-oriented and people-focused approach grounded in trust, active listening, discretion and hands-on delivery.
