What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote EMEA engagements where I can partner with senior leaders on HR transformation, organisational development, talent, succession, leadership, performance and reward.

I've led HR transformation, organisational design and people strategy for Brown-Forman, Tchibo, Sanofi and Hitay Investment Holdings across Türkiye and international environments.

At Sanofi, I led organisational design, cultural transformation, four M&A integrations and talent architecture; the succession approach I pioneered was transferred internationally and recognised with awards. I also completed a Paris HQ assignment supporting regional HR strategy, competency development and integration work.

Through Electa Consultancy, I advise senior leaders on transformation, talent, succession, leadership development, performance, reward and HR architecture, combining strategic counsel with hands-on implementation.
