HR Leader | Scaling Talent & Culture (0 → 1 & Beyond) | Building People Systems that Drive Growth & Culture

About

I believe great businesses are built on great people. As a HR leader with 13+ years of experience, I help organizations build HR from 0 → 1, scale teams, strengthen culture, and drive performance. I partner closely with founders and CXOs to align people strategy with business goals, build high-performing teams, and implement systems and processes that empower employees and enable growth. Over the years, I have helped startups and mid-sized companies across tech, education, healthcare, retail, and hospitality create workplaces where people feel engaged, supported, and motivated to excel.
