What I'm looking for

Strategic HR Business Partner with 10+ years in high-growth SaaS and tech across founder-led and PE-backed environments. I specialize in GTM partnership, org design, M&A integration, and people strategies tied to business outcomes. Looking for a fully remote role where I can be a true executive partner, build trust, and drive real impact.

I’m a strategic HR Business Partner and executive advisor embedded in high-growth SaaS and tech environments—trusted across G&A, GTM, Engineering, and Product. I build practical people strategies that scale, navigate complex employee relations, and drive organizational effectiveness through data-driven insights.

Most recently, I directed the global HRBP function at a highly acquisitive PE-backed software company, scaling people operations to nearly 800 employees through 16 acquisitions. I architected end-to-end M&A HR integration across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC—overseeing compensation harmonization, benefits alignment, job architecture, and culture integration—completing integration in under 12 months per acquisition cycle. I also redesigned the HRBP operating model in my first 90 days, shifting from reactive support to proactive partnership and improving eNPS by 50+ points.

I’ve led global change and engagement work by rolling out Culture Amp across 11 countries and turning engagement data into real-time strategic input for leadership. Previously, I embedded as an Sr. HRBP to GTM, launching an end-to-end performance management program with Lattice, cutting ramp time by 33%, and strengthening onboarding for a remote-first, enterprise sales motion.
