About

Are you seeking someone to revamp your HR Systems & Processes? Or perhaps you require assistance in establishing your HR function from the ground up? If so, I'm here to lend my expertise. I approach every task with unwavering passion and thrive on challenges, especially when faced with limited information and resources. Rather than simply resolving current issues, I lead my team with a focus on the future. With over fifteen years of experience in HR, I've honed my skills at reputable companies such as CL Educate, Halonix Ltd, Renesola, and Sleepwell. My DNA is comprised of attention to detail, a sharp memory, a commitment to perfection, adherence to systems and processes, and genuine concern for people. I find little solace in relaxation amidst clutter and ambiguity. Clarity and objectivity drive my actions in all situations.
