As a Senior Manager HR Transformation Consultant at Alight, I leverage my 18 years of operational and management experience in all HR service areas to deliver innovative and effective solutions for clients across various industries. I have a strong background in HR administration, organization management, recruitment, payroll, compensation and benefits, learning, performance management, and succession planning, as well as project, transition, and reengineering skills. My mission is to help organizations optimize their HR processes, systems, and strategies, and enhance their employee experience and engagement. I have successfully managed and supported multiple global projects, such as the EMEA HR Services Lead at Warner Bros. Discovery, where I was responsible for 30 countries and 70 entities, and the EMEA Comp&Ben Manager and Global Process Lead for Benefits at Citi, where I coordinated 55 countries and ran strategic initiatives. I also hold certifications in HR compensation and benefits, executive presence, and rewarding employee performance, and have proficiency in English and Hungarian.
