About

HR Services & Solutions Leader with a proven track record in delivering end-to-end People Services across complex, highly regulated environments. I specialize in payroll governance, benefits administration, HR operations, and large-scale process automation, consistently driving accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence. Currently leading HR Services & Solutions at Procter & Gamble, I manage payroll and benefits for large employee populations, achieve top-tier audit outcomes, and deliver measurable value through digitization and process optimization. My work focuses on strengthening governance, reducing operational risk, and elevating the employee experience through technology-enabled solutions. I bring a strong foundation in HR operations, compliance, and stakeholder management, partnering closely with senior leaders, Finance, and external vendors to deliver scalable, audit-ready HR services aligned with business priorities. I am particularly specialized in navigating the complexities of UAE immigration for a global workforce. I maintain a robust network of strategic relationships with government authorities to facilitate high-priority employment visa approvals for restricted nationalities. By securing exceptions and seamless entry for senior-level talent and their dependents, I directly mitigate operational risks and ensure that critical business leadership is on the ground in Dubai when the business needs them most. On a personal level, I operate with a solution-oriented mindset and strong stewardship. I am known as a trusted partner and a “go-to” resource during HR crises or complex operational challenges, restoring control in high-pressure situations, and consistently making the “impossible” possible through discipline, ownership, and smart use of technology.
