Experience

1. Associate Vice President Human Resources

   Beroe Inc

   Apr 2024 — Present

   I focus on aligning human capital strategies with organizational objectives, ensuring that people initiatives directly support business priorities. By understanding both short-term goals and long-term vision, I help build workforce plans that enable sustainable growth, operational efficiency, and leadership continuity.A key part of my role involves analyzing workforce trends, assessing capability gaps, and forecasting future talent needs. Using these insights, I design and implement talent management strategies that address hiring, development, succession planning, and performance, helping the organization stay ahead in a competitive and fast-changing environment.I place strong emphasis on enhancing employee engagement, retention, and productivity by creating fair, transparent, and inclusive people practices. From improving employee experience to strengthening manager effectiveness, my approach balances empathy with accountability to drive high performance.I work closely with senior management as a strategic partner, integrating HR initiatives into overall business strategy rather than treating them as standalone programs. I also actively foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, encouraging teams to evolve, adapt, and contribute meaningfully to organizational success.
