About
I strive to create workplaces where people feel supported, engaged and able to do their best work. Over the past 15 years, my experience has spanned Business Partnership, (National) Talent Development, Employee Experience, Employee Relations, Engagement and Learning & Development, where I’ve helped shape strategies and initiatives that align individual growth with business priorities. As Head of Human Capital at KATIM, I lead a very talented team across Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, HC Operations and Business Partnership, building programs and experiences that foster collaboration, engagement and lasting impact for both individuals and the organisation.
