Salomao Chavana

Strategic and people-centered HR leader with 10+ years of experience in leading high-impact HR initiatives across FMCG, mining, and industrial sectors. Currently serving as Human Resources Director at Heineken Moçambique, I lead a strong HR team and sit on the management board, partnering directly with the MD and regional/global HR leaders. I specialize in performance management, total rewards, organizational culture, HR strategy, and change management—using data to drive smart decisions and transformation. Under my leadership, Heineken Mozambique achieved high retention of top talents, integrated two businesses successfully, and delivered year-on-year improvements in employee engagement and efficiency. Known for challenging the status quo and delivering real business value through people, I’m passionate about building inclusive, high-performing teams and shaping cultures that thrive through purpose and accountability.
