Remits of particular interest: Looking for a global or regional HR leadership role, either as the #1 HR position in a start up or scale up, or as a divisional leader in a larger organization.

Unique expertise: I have helped companies grow and scale. Identifying and reinforcing a culture of accountability to drive business success. I have also been successful in large MNCs. I have global experience Singapore/APAC, Portugal/Europe, Brazil, Canada and the US. I have strong M&A experience, both with acquisitions and divestitures. I have board experience driving the remuneration committee.

Commerciality: I have supported leaders to drive a culture of accountability across the organization, helping to ensure that as the company scales and grows, employees continue to take responsibility and lean into the grey areas. I have used data to identify where processes have failed, including in regional sales teams that have missed their numbers, as well as in customer support teams, where NSAT scores have been declining. The result has been change in organization, process and training to ensure business success.

Strengths: I am a pragmatic business leader that strives to find the best path forward. I work along side leaders, understanding their challenges and how the HR team can support them to achieve their goals.

Need to know: Leaders comment on my positive participation in business discussions. I am a leader of the company that is responsible for the People Strategy, not the People Leader. I will understand the business and will participate in business discussions.
