Director HR Business Partnering & Operational Support @ Hermes Germany GmbH

About

As an experienced HR manager with more than 15 years of expertise in HR in international environments, I support companies in growth and transformation - recently by transforming traditional business models into digital and diversified structures and by supporting organic growth and M&A. In my current role at Maersk, I lead a team of ten People Partners in North Europe to drive leadership and HR initiatives. This includes HR integrations following M&A, supporting business units in transformation phases, and optimizing local HR processes through targeted knowledge management and collaboration strategies. With a proven ability to manage organizational and cultural integration, as well as a strong focus on modern and agile working methods, I support leadership teams at all levels to achieve business goals through innovative HR approaches. My passion lies in establishing and elevating effective HR structures, transforming business goals into a actionable HR agenda, and promoting change management initiatives. With my expertise in scale-up Tech companies as well as multinational corporations, I can drive the HR agenda in mid-size companies / scale-ups which aim to modernize and transform as well as leading reginonal / functional departments in international companies.
