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.
