Danilo Leoni Lamonica

Regional Head of Talent Acquisition, LATAM @ AkzoNobel

About

I am a Human Resources executive with 17 years of experience in multinational companies within the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, having led a wide range of strategic HR initiatives. Throughout my career, I have driven cultural transformation, post-merger integrations (M&As), talent management strategies, employee engagement and organizational development programs. I have directly supported Executive Committees as an HR Business Partner and served as Head of HR for a Brazilian affiliate, leading high-impact national and regional projects. I stand out for my data-driven mindset, active listening skills, and strong alignment between business strategy and people management. I hold a specialization in Strategic Thinking from SUNY (State University of New York) New Paltz and a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from USP (University of São Paulo). I am also trilingual (Portuguese, English & Spanish). I am currently in a career transition and open to senior HR leadership opportunities (Sr. Manager / Associate Director level) in both the pharmaceutical sector and other industries that value innovation, culture, and strategic people practices.
