People Operations | Leadership Development | Organizational Effectiveness Most organizations don't have a performance problem. They have a leadership clarity problem. Over 20 years leading teams of 50 to 100+ people across creative and production environments in Europe and Southeast Asia, I've learned that sustainable performance comes down to three things: putting the right people in the right roles, developing managers with intention, and holding the line on clear standards. At a previous company, that approach produced sub-5% annual turnover in a market averaging around 30%, not through perks or policy, but through deliberate leadership investment and team stability. My work spans the full people operations lifecycle: talent acquisition, structured onboarding, performance review design, leadership coaching, middle management development, and workforce planning. I partner closely with HR and executive teams to align talent decisions with real business constraints, not just organizational ideals. MBA completed. Based in Hanoi. Open to remote global roles in People Operations, Organizational Effectiveness, and Leadership Development.
