Summary

As an accomplished operations leader with a distinguished background in both operations management and project management, I have consistently driven organizational success through strategic initiatives. In my previous role as Global Head of HR Operations, I spearheaded strategic operations, enabling rapid global growth over seven years. This encompassed opening and managing sites in the US, Canada, Germany, and China, while also leading process improvement initiatives for procurement, travel, and contracts. I managed budgets, built high-performing operations teams, and collaborated with leadership on due diligence, investor relations, and investments. Ensuring legal and regulatory compliance was paramount, laying the operational foundation for the company's accelerated global expansion. As an HR & Operations Manager, I played a pivotal part in scaling the company's growth through all stages up to the IPO. In addition to my operational leadership, I have excelled as a Project Manager, where I strategically developed the company's Research and Development (R&D) teams. This involved formulating efficient work processes and procedures, implementing agile methodologies, and meticulously planning and monitoring project execution through annual Gantt charts. My diverse skill set, which includes a profound understanding of both R&D and HR requirements, coupled with my high operational abilities, positions me as a valuable asset for any organization seeking to drive operational excellence and achieve ambitious goals.
