As an Industrial Psychologist and Master in Human and Organizational Development, I bring a unique blend of scientific insights and practical HR experience to the table. I have developed diverse expertise in a range of critical organizational processes (Strategy, HR, Learning & Development, Change management, employee experience, and Agile Methodologies) with a proven track record of success in various Human Resource departments and several years of experience. I am keenly interested in the Fifth Industrial Revolution and actively explore how emerging technologies and future-focused skills can revolutionize HR practices. My goal is to leverage this forward-thinking perspective to provide cutting-edge consultancy and leadership training solutions that prepare organizations for tomorrow's challenges and opportunities.
