Ambra Rastelli

Head of Human Resources @ Medichem

About

With over a decade of experience in HR, I've built my career on a simple belief: when people thrive, organisations win.I operate at the intersection of strategy and people, partnering with senior leadership to shape cultures, develop talent, and build organisations that are both high-performing and deeply human. My expertise spans the full HR spectrum: talent acquisition, organisational development, employee relations, performance management, and compensation & benefits.What sets me apart is the way I work. I lead by example, earn trust through action, and bring both rigour and empathy to every challenge. I don't just implement HR: I shape it, challenge it, and make it matter to the business.People-first isn't a value on a wall. It's how I show up every day.
