What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead employee relations and people strategy work where I can resolve complex workplace issues, build trusted manager capability, strengthen policy and conduct practices, and use data and AI responsibly to improve people outcomes.

At Morgan Stanley, I advise a 180-person, two-city organisation on performance, conduct, capacity and workplace conflict, resolving 250+ manager and employee consultations each year. I also reduced leave and capacity disputes to near zero through a governed framework and cut recurring review effort by about 60% using four confidential AI workflows.

I've led end-to-end employee relations work at ProCRM, including investigations, grievances, exits and restructures, and use structured evidence, careful documentation and practical judgment to land defensible outcomes. People raise concerns with me early because I create a safe, confidential space while knowing when matters need formal escalation.
