With over 11 years of dedicated experience in Human Resources, I have developed strong strategic and operational expertise in talent management, organizational development, and employee engagement. As Head of HR, I have successfully led initiatives in leadership development, change management, and HR digital transformation.

Passionate about knowledge-sharing and mentorship, I have published international journals on AI and People Analytics and delivered more than 500 hours of public speaking as a trainer and career coach.
