About Szilvia

Strategic HR Business Partner & People Leader - CIPD + UAE Immigration & Labour Law certified

I help founders and executives turn business strategy into people strategy. Over 10 years, I’ve delivered growth and operational excellence for startups, SMEs, and complex matrix organisations, often in moments of high change and regulation, across the UK, Europe, and the UAE. I’m tech-savvy and hands-on with digitalisation, building future-proof ways of working through modern HRIS, automation, employee self-service, and data-driven decision-making.

Currently: available part-time whilst working on apost-acquisition transformation with leaders across nine European entities, standardising processes, co-designing shared platforms, and building a unified culture while safeguarding local strengths.

Sector experience: gaming, finance (FCA-regulated), technology, e-commerce, and fresh produce (fruits & vegetables).

Bring me in when you need:
  • Cross-border post-acquisition integration and org design
  • HR operating models, governance, and policies that scale
  • HR digitalisation (HRIS selection/rollout, workflow automation, people analytics)
  • Culture, change, and leadership enablement that sticks
  • Compliance, ER, and international mobility (UAE + Europe)
Collaborative, outcome-driven, and fluent in both “people” and “product,” I partner tightly with execs and tech teams to remove friction and help organisations move faster, today and in the future.
