Strategic Executive Advisor & HR Transformation Consultant

About

I am a boardroom-aligned Global HR Executive, Site Leader, and GBS Architect with over 25 years of experience leading cross-border people strategies, driving organizational governance, and scaling multi-functional Global Capability Centers (GCCs) for Fortune 500 giants like Rolls-Royce and Thomson Reuters. My core expertise sits at the intersection of enterprise business strategy and complex operational transformation. I have a proven track record of partnering directly with C-suites and industrial regulators to mitigate systemic risk, manage multi-country successions, and reengineer highly fragmented legacy workflows into lean, compliance-driven digital operations.Key Leadership & Transformation Milestones:• Enterprise Governance & Site Leadership: Directed end-to-end site and HR operations across highly regulated regional clusters, implementing robust compliance and reducing attrition by 50%.• Global Process Ownership (GPO): Architected the global target operating model for core Hire-to-Retire workflows, executing centralized GBS Shared Service Hubs and leading regional Workday system integrations.• Pioneering DEI Frameworks: Spearheaded authentic workplace equity by designing inclusion pipelines that successfully empowered and integrated over 400+ PwD individuals across mainstream workforces—including a 100% visually challenged professional within my own HR team. Currently leveraging my multi-decade corporate governance and change management experience to advise enterprise boards, scaling GCC structures, and progressive social sector institutions on internal capacity building, process reengineering, and structural audit readiness.
