Experience

I’m a strategic HR leader with 15+ years of international experience driving HR and talent strategy, organisational transformation, and leadership development.

I partner with executive teams and CEOs to align people strategy with business growth, governance, and long term value creation. “Fenix is one of the most strategic HR leaders I’ve worked with—able to translate talent strategy into measurable business impact.” – CEO, RetailTech Group.

My track record includes reducing low performance by 64%, improving leadership effectiveness by 12 points, and building robust succession pipelines. I lead with data, leveraging HR tech, AI, and people analytics to deliver measurable business outcomes.

My career spans roles as Talent Manager at Kjell & Co, Future of Work at IKEA, CHRO at Telavox, and founder of an HR technology consultancy focused on optimising people analytics to maximise ROI in talent development. These experiences sharpened my ability to serve as a proactive, agile, and results driven strategic partner.
