Award Winning Stories, People-First Results
A few things I’m proud of:
🎉 Led the internal comms and engagement strategy that supported a $1.45B company valuation and global brand refresh
🏆 Spearheaded a global recognition program that enabled 19K+ moments of appreciation in one year
🎨 Designed and launched DEIB, Wellbeing, EVP, and Engagement initiatives recognized by external partners and over 36 industry awards
✨ Created leadership messaging playbooks adopted by 150+ managers across five countries
🌍 Partnered with CPOs, CEOs, and MDs to shape company-wide people narratives during periods of growth and change
While the accolades are exciting, for me, it’s always been about the impact. The stories behind the stats. The moments we create that make people feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best work.
