Message

At PepsiCo, I partner with country leadership, HR and COE teams across WECA and MENAPAK on talent, culture and capability strategies. I lead activation of the People Leadership Academy across five MENAPAK countries and coordinate engagement and culture initiatives across markets.

In Ethiopia, I played a key role in establishing HR operations, then hiring and developing local HR capability. I also designed and led a phased culture transformation and integrated Insights Discovery into leadership programmes, delivering leadership and team-effectiveness sessions across Africa as an Accredited Insights Facilitator.
