Summary

Experienced and impact-oriented People Manager with a proven track record of leading large, high-performing teams and building strong stakeholder relationships across EMEA. My leadership style balances empathy with execution — setting clear expectations, addressing underperformance proactively, and creating growth opportunities through coaching, mentoring, and structured feedback.

In parallel, I work closely with senior stakeholders and clients to ensure alignment between delivery and business goals. I’ve earned a reputation for trust-based partnerships, operational transparency, and responsiveness under pressure.

I bring a human-centered, data-informed mindset to leadership — balancing team wellbeing with results. Whether managing onboarding teams, coordinating assessments, or optimizing service delivery, I lead with clarity, care, and commitment.
