About

I am a Senior Director, Global HR Business Partner and strategic people leader with deep experience advising executive teams through growth, transformation, acquisition integration, and operating model evolution in global technology organizations. My role is to help leaders connect business strategy with organizational capability — ensuring that structures, leadership practices, talent decisions, and culture are aligned to deliver sustainable business impact. I partner with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Customer Experience, and global functions to solve complex organizational challenges, build leadership depth, and strengthen accountability across distributed teams. My work spans strategic workforce planning, organizational design, leadership effectiveness, talent calibration, succession planning, engagement strategy, job leveling, career pathing, and change management. I am particularly strong in environments where clarity, alignment, and leadership maturity need to evolve quickly alongside business growth. I bring a pragmatic, business-oriented HR approach: thoughtful in diagnosis, structured in execution, and courageous in advising leaders through difficult decisions. I care deeply about creating organizations where leaders are equipped to lead well, employees understand what success looks like, and culture becomes a driver of performance rather than a set of words on a slide.
