What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my HR and business expertise to drive company growth and success.

As a seasoned HR & Business Partner with 10 years of work experience related to highly people oriented operational roles, I've developed a unique ability to integrate diverse background knowledge, experience, and transferable skills to achieve professional and business goals. My expertise spans across various industries, including IT, where I've invested a significant amount of time.

Throughout my career, I've successfully built teams from scratch, restructured and led HR teams, and set up foundations for company operations, projects, and learning. I'm passionate about exploring different terrains and industries, and I'm no stranger to other fields beyond IT.

My strengths lie in my ability to facilitate conflict resolution, identify loops in HR and company processes, and develop solutions to improve overall performance and results. I'm dedicated to pursuing optimal cooperation between departments and HR, and I'm committed to maintaining the overall efficiency of HR and its contribution to the company.
