In my role as Head of People & Culture I'm overseeing all strategic and operational People topics including Talent Acquisition. I collaborate closely with C-level to align org design, headcount plans, and People OKRs with business strategy, while coaching the leadership team to strengthen management capability and drive engagement. My Milestones: > Built the People & Culture function from the ground up, covering People Ops, Talent, and Leadership enablement > Scaled hiring with 30+ high-impact hires across tech and business through structured and process-optimized recruiting > Designing and implementing performance & reward frameworks, to achieve fair and consistent decision-making > Leading and developed the People Team, establishing rituals, performance KPIs, and growth paths for stronger delivery
After six months I was promoted to lead a growing People team through a phase of cultural development and organizational growth. I built structure around People Ops, Talent Acquisition, and Leadership enablement — introducing engagement initiatives, performance management activities and acted as go-to person for payroll, labor law matters, and conflict resolution.
I joined during early scale-up phase to professionalize HR foundations. I developed key initiatives such as a global onboarding framework and feedback loops. I standardized payroll processes, and aligned recruiting activities to increase the hiring quality. I partnered directly with founders and senior leaders to ensure our People strategy could scale with headcount growth.
