About

I am a Strategic HR Leader with over 17 years of experience driving organizational transformation at the intersection of Business Partnering, Total Rewards, and Financial Governance. My career has been defined by a "Business-First" approach—ensuring that every people strategy is grounded in financial reality and P&L impact. Having served as a trusted advisor to MDs, CFOs, and HR Directors at global MNCs like L’Oréal and Kimberly-Clark, I specialize in: 🚀 Strategic HRBP: Leading organizational design, succession planning, and culture transformation for complex business units. 💰 Total Rewards & Job Architecture: Designing market-competitive frameworks (Mercer IPE) and compensation philosophies that drive retention and high performance. 📊 Financial Stewardship: Managing multi-million dollar HR budgets and personnel costs to optimize human capital ROI. 🌍 Expat & Global Talent: Architecting the "Expat Lifecycle" and "Experience Design" to position regions as premier global talent hubs. I am passionate about building inclusive, high-performing cultures and leading change management in volatile markets. I thrive where data-driven discipline meets high-touch people management.
