ABOUT FRANCESCA DI PIERRO

An experienced and enthusiastic People professional looking to provide the best possible employee experience through forward thinking strategies with a design thinking approach, rewriting the expectation and resetting the benchmark. I truly believe people are an organisation’s most valuable asset and that a human centric approach to people practices enables a business to thrive.My approach is down to earth, proactive, pragmatic, strategic, while able to balance employee interest with that of the business. I love working in fast paced, people focussed environments with autonomy, a talented team around me and the space to try new challenges. In my most recent role as Head of People at Pure Electric I encouraged our CEO and Senior Leadership Team to think about our culture as ever evolving. I relished every opportunity to present them with business cases and data promoting change that would see Pure a better workplace for everyone. Leading a team with a clear strategy, we delivered projects that saw improvements in our employee offering, business efficiency, operating model and commercial portfolio.The rapid growth I’ve experienced in my career, seeing employee numbers increase from 100 to 1,500 and customer numbers grow to over a million while at OVO Energy, has taught me how to provide scalable yet innovative solutions to people processes and the employee lifecycle.My experience at Nationwide Building Society enabled me to take a more consultative approach, working closely with Senior Leadership Teams to understand the longer-term business direction and priorities. This understanding has allowed me to successfully shape people strategies and projects that are inclusive, collaborative, future looking and relevant to specific business requirements.
