About

I'm a passionate HR leader with a proven track record of driving transformational change and fostering excellence within global organizations. With experience in HR strategy, talent development, and change management, I'm dedicated to building strong, diverse teams that contribute to a company's long-term success. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with dynamic teams across various continents and cultures including remote setups. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the importance of the 'People Experience' in achieving business objectives. I thrive on challenges that require innovative solutions, whether it's shaping a Performance Management Philosophy from the ground up or promoting a culture of Diversity and Inclusion. My mission is to influence leaders at all levels to drive performance while nurturing high potentials and fostering a climate of readiness for change. Outside of work, I'm a dedicated mom and find balance through activities like Iyengar yoga, skiing, and horseback riding. I'm passionate about travel and environmental causes, and I have a strong commitment to giving back to the community.
