About

I am a strategic People Leader with 27 years of experience driving enterprise-wide HR transformation in complex, highly matrixed global organizations. My focus is on aligning people strategy with business priorities, enabling scale, and building high-performance, future-ready cultures. I have partnered closely with executive leadership to design and deliver GCC and global HR operating models, strengthen governance, and embed scalable people practices across geographies. My experience spans HR shared services, HRIS-led transformation, total rewards and pay equity, leadership development, performance and succession, and talent and capability building. Known for my authentic, collaborative leadership style, I navigate ambiguity with clarity and execution helping leaders translate strategy into measurable people outcomes. I bring a strong track record of building trust with stakeholders while balancing global consistency and local relevance, a critical capability in GCC and multinational environments. Having worked extensively across the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia, I bring deep cross-cultural perspective and a pragmatic approach to leading diverse, distributed teams. Beyond organizational leadership, I am passionate about developing the next generation of HR leaders and have spoken at 50+ HR forums and conclaves, sharing insights on the evolving role of HR as a business and transformation partner. My work continues to focus on enterprise HR transformation, GCC scale, and leadership capability in complex global environments. Alongside my professional work, I have a deep interest in holistic well-being and resilience, inspired by thought leaders such as Louise Hay. This perspective informs my leadership philosophy shaping cultures that value emotional well-being, self-awareness, and sustainable performance alongside business results.
