About

I help businesses transform their people systems to fuel growth, agility, and culture. With over 11 years across Big 4 consulting, mid-size conglomerates, and spiritual institutions, I specialize in building workforce planning models, job architecture, and engagement frameworks that unlock leadership potential and retention. I'm now looking to bring this blend of strategic HR insight and people-first execution to a UAE or GCC-based organization ready for scale and transformation.
