About Fernanda Hodownes

Passionate bi-lingual leader that seeks to maximize the value people bring to their employers. I want to add the people valuable into companies’ equations through management, engagement, technology and data.My goal in life is to build strong, effective and meaningful connections with people, and that is something that I excel at. I believe that this is exactly what today’s market is all about - creating personal connections with stakeholders. Every company’s foundation should be based on creating relationships with its public and changing people’s life through what they provide to them. Being people- and detail-oriented, having strong problem-solving skills, and having worked with multiple cross-functional teams helps me to diversify, develop and implement strategies that strengthen the link between a company and its employees. This link drives real change for people to achieve their goals using their strengths and bringing their best features to the table. Having a 360º vision and thinking outside of the box is not only valuable but also essential to accomplishing high impact results in fast-paced environments. I’m confident that I can help companies create a bigger impact on people’s lives.Core Competencies: Challenge-Seeker | Strategic Thinking | People Engagement | Leadership | Passion | Commitment | Adaptability | Team Work | Critical Thinking | Strong Work Ethic Skills:HR Management | Business Strategy | Talent Management | Organizational Development | HR Consulting | Project Management | Analytics “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney
