The 5-star review below is from VIDA Select. That engagement started here on Upwork in 2015 and became a nine-year role as their Director of HR. I mention it because it is the clearest thing I can tell you about how I work: clients tend to keep me. I build HR functions from scratch and automate the parts that should not need a human. At VIDA I was the first HR hire, and built the department to 19 people across Recruitment, Operations, Business Partnering and Billing — supporting growth from under 50 to over 250 employees across 15+ countries, fully remote. What I actually do is operations: – Automated payroll and reporting, removing 120 hours of manual work a month – Integrated CRM with HRIS so billing changes write across systems automatically — errors cut by 99% – Built automated candidate testing and evaluation, reducing assessment time by 40% – Moved a company-wide hiring process from email attachments to a full ATS Before VIDA I did the same at Philips, cutting the employee separation process from 30 minutes to 2, and at Iteamic, where KPMG trained me in PCMM and I wrote the company's HR policies and procedures from zero. Where I can help: – Building an HR function where none exists – HR process audits and automation – HRIS and ATS selection, migration and implementation – Systems integration between HR, CRM and payroll platforms – Remote and distributed team operations – Compensation structure and performance management design – HR policy and documentation groundwork I work well with founders and leadership teams who know something is broken but have not had time to map it. I will do the diagnostic and the build. Based in Bangalore, working across US, UK and APAC time zones — as I did for nine years. Tell me what is not working and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person to fix it.

I help start-ups and scaling companies build global teams, strong culture, and efficient HR operations. With 7+ years of global HR experience, I’ve worked closely with 15+ remote-first start-ups and enterprise teams to grow their hiring, bring structure to their people operations, and build high-performing teams without needing a full-time HR leader. My work is particularly valuable for founders and leadership teams moving from informal and chaotic setups to structured and scalable systems. Who I Work With: ✔ Founders who need structure without corporate complexity ✔ Companies moving from “scrappy” to scalable ✔ Remote-first companies ✔ Teams scaling across multiple countries Problems I Solve: ✔ “We’re growing fast, but we don’t have an HR foundation. No handbook, no onboarding, no structure.” ✔ “We’ve a strong remote team but need a trusted partner to coordinate and oversee people operations.” ✔ “We’re going through change, but adoption is slow and inconsistent.” ✔ “We’ve invested in HR tools, but they’re underused and not solving real problems. ✔ “We’re operating across countries, but unsure if we’re fully compliant.” ✔ “Great candidates either don’t know us or don’t choose us because our employer brand isn’t clear.” ✔ “Nothing is documented, so every time someone leaves, critical knowledge goes with them.” Why Clients Hire Me: ✔ I don’t waste time. I start with your business and take the time to understand your growth stage, team dynamics, and where things are actually breaking before touching a single policy or process. ✔ Everything I build fits your context. Whether it is a handbook, performance system, or dashboard, it is custom designed for your team, not a generic template. ✔ I work with your team, not around them. I stay through implementation, set up the tools, run the training, and make sure things are actually being used. ✔ I build systems that last. You get processes, tools, and internal capability that continue working long after I step out.
