Karen Costa

Rewards Analyst @ Schneider Electric

About

Driven by challenges and guided by dedication, I’ve built my professional journey with a keen focus on people and the relationships that shape the work environment. It was this passion for human behavior and organizational culture that led me to pursue a degree in Psychology at UNEB and, more recently, an MBA in People Management at USP/Esalq. Currently, I work as a Benefits Analyst at Schneider Electric Brazil, where I’m responsible for managing benefits nationwide, leading change management projects, and developing strategic reports to support decision-making around compensations — building on previous experience in the Payroll sector. My background blends analytical thinking with human sensitivity, contributing to decisions that balance operational efficiency with talent appreciation. I believe in HR as a true agent of transformation — and I remain in continuous learning, always seeking to positively impact both people and businesses. Open to connections, exchanges, and opportunities that enrich this journey!
