About

I help growing IT organizations build HR and operations infrastructure that scales with their ambitions—particularly those navigating US-India cross-border complexities. Over 16+ years, I've evolved from IT recruitment into strategic operations leadership, now overseeing HR, Compliance, Finance, and Contracts for global delivery teams serving Fortune 500 clients. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across the full spectrum: from W2/C2C workforce management and immigration compliance to HRIS transformation and audit readiness. What I bring to the table: → Built US HR operations from scratch—managing I-9, E-Verify, benefits, and 401(k) administration → Led organizations through CMMI V2.0 ML3 appraisal, ISO 27001 certification, and SOC 2 Type 2 audits → Transformed HR systems (Zoho → SwarmHR) driving automation and governance → Bridge between leadership priorities and workforce realities—trusted escalation partner I believe HR isn't just about policies—it's about creating systems where people, projects, and business goals move forward together. Open to connecting on: Global HR strategy, US-India operations, compliance frameworks, HR transformation 📧 shaheenhr22@gmail.com
