What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior HR leadership role where I can apply people analytics and performance systems to strengthen workforce forecasting and cultural transformation—especially in regulated environments that demand high compliance and measurable outcomes.

I’m a strategic Human Resources leader with 8+ years of expertise driving performance management and talent development within large-scale public sector institutions. I align people strategies with complex organisational goals through scalable learning frameworks and robust internal talent pipelines.

In my roles, I’ve executed end-to-end performance management frameworks achieving 100% appraisal compliance and improving departmental goal alignment by 20%, while directing workforce transformation initiatives that reduced external recruitment for mid-level roles by 25%. I also formalised capability development strategies to bridge skill gaps, delivering a 30% increase in internal promotions and leadership readiness, and I standardised HR reporting with real-time visibility using automated dashboards.
