I have over 18 years of experience leading Human Resources teams in the food industry and can offer a proven track record of success. My expertise lies in negotiation, business planning, HR consulting, HR policies, change management, and labour relations. In addition, my Master's degree in Strategic Human Resources has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to lead and implement numerous change and engagement initiatives to drive business performance.

I am capable of working in other environments as well as adapting to different people. I have a talent for enriching HR teams and developing talent. I am results-driven, resilient, passionate, and people-focused, with honed decision-making and execution capabilities. My areas of expertise include change management, cultural integration, employee engagement, talent management, leadership capability development, executive coaching, performance management, industrial relations, policy development, and employment relations.
