Description

I am a senior HR and Employee Experience leader with 23 years of experience across corporate, scale-up and advisory environments. My work focuses on helping organizations design people structures, employee journeys and HR operating models that are both strategic and executable.

I combine HR leadership experience with a strong product and transformation mindset. I have worked across organizational design, culture transformation, HR digitalization, performance systems, onboarding, talent processes and employee experience design. Recently, I have also been working on AI-enabled HR product development and future-of-work models, including fractional leadership and expert platform design.

I am especially interested in projects where people, technology and business transformation intersect. My style is hands-on, structured and human-centered: I help teams clarify what they need, translate complexity into practical solutions and build systems that can scale without losing the employee experience.

Focus areas: HR transformation, employee experience, organizational design, HR digitalization, culture, performance management, onboarding, AI in HR, fractional HR advisory.
