Summary
HR Executive with 15+ years of professional experience including 10+ years in leadership roles focused on global Tech environments. Specialized in connecting people initiatives to commercial and business objectives.
I build organizations that scale by turning HR into a strategic growth engine. I design people and organization architectures that link business strategy, performance, and leadership impact. Using AI and workforce intelligence, I optimize structure, talent allocation, and decision design, reducing OPEX, cutting attrition, and driving measurable productivity gains. With a bias to execution, my focus is on workforce planning, leadership capability, and performance systems that move HR from operational support to a core driver of business value.
