Strategic HR Generalist | Global Talent Acquisition| People Operations

Building high-performing teams requires more than hiring great talent; it requires strong people strategies, scalable HR processes, and a trusted partner who understands business. With 10+ years of HR experience, I help startups, scale-ups, and multinational organizations build and manage thriving workforces across the US, UK, Africa, Asia, and EMEA. I specialize in delivering end-to-end HR solutions, including global talent acquisition, people operations, HR policy development, employee relations, performance management, organizational design, compliance, and HR process optimization. Whether you're establishing an HR function from the ground up or strengthening an existing one, I provide practical, business-focused solutions that drive growth, improve employee experience, and ensure compliance. I have successfully partnered with organizations across Renewable Energy, Telecommunications, FinTech, E-commerce, and Sustainability, supporting remote and distributed teams while implementing best-in-class HR practices. I am experienced in recruiting for technical, leadership, and corporate roles, developing HR frameworks, streamlining HR operations, and advising leaders on workforce planning and organizational effectiveness. I am proficient in BambooHR, Odoo, Workable, LinkedIn Recruiter, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, Asana, ClickUp, and other modern HR and collaboration tools. If you're looking for a proactive HR partner who can seamlessly integrate with your team, attract exceptional talent, build compliant HR processes, and support your business as it grows, I'd love to help.
