HR Experience Specialist | LATAM @ Deel

About

I help high-growth technology companies scale their most processes and their culture. With over a decade of experience in HR and People Operations — including 5+ years driving culture in global, high-performance tech environments like VTEX and Zazmic — I specialize in translating complex business strategies into observable employee behaviors. My approach combines Data-Driven Diagnostics with Creative Storytelling to build environments where people don't just work: they belong. I have a proven track record of navigating the "Global-Local" challenge, ensuring cultural consistency across LATAM, North America, EMEA, and APAC while respecting regional nuances. - Culture Strategy & Activation: Designing frameworks that align values with business goals. - Globalization & Localization: Managing processes, culture and rituals across 40+ countries. - Culture Diagnostics: Using qualitative and quantitative data to improve retention and sentiment. - Employer Branding & Internal Comms: Building strong internal identities that attract and retain top talent. - Leadership Enablement: Training managers to become Culture Ambassadors. From startup agility to IPO-scale rigor, I thrive in fast-paced "Day 1" environments where speed and excellence are the standard.
