Sergey Shlyakhtin

HR transformation and organizational design leader with 22+ years of senior corporate HR leadership across large, complex, multi-entity organizations. Most recently, I was Deputy Head of the HR Directorate at a major energy group, where I helped design and govern HR systems across 130+ subsidiaries and 500,000+ employees. My focus is HR strategy, organizational design, workforce planning, executive talent governance, M&A people integration, and shared-services design. I have worked on large-scale HR transformation, HR operating models, workforce analytics, leadership assessment, succession planning, and organizational change in highly regulated environments. I also built the HR function from scratch for a USD 13.8B greenfield gas-processing megaproject, including workforce planning, HR structure, recruitment model, and long-term staffing strategy for future operations. My strength is designing practical, scalable HR systems. I work well with senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and distributed organizations. My style is structured, calm, analytical, and people-aware. I'm equally comfortable in senior advisory roles and in hands-on people-operations leadership where one person owns both strategy and delivery. I hold two Master's degrees with Canadian equivalency confirmed and have IELTS 8.0 English. Relocating to Ottawa, Canada (Eastern Time), I'm looking for a senior HR transformation, organizational development, workforce strategy, or strategic HR advisory role: remote, hybrid, or Ottawa-based.
