What I do

The quiet systems behind teams that actually trust each other.

  1. 01

    Global Recruiting

    Full-cycle hiring across Nepal, the Philippines, Australia, India and the US — IC to executive.

  2. 02

    Multi-Country HR Ops

    One playbook, localized: compliance, comp, onboarding and performance across borders.

  3. 03

    Remote Team Leadership

    Distributed, cross-cultural people ops designed for trust over surveillance.

From the playbook

People don't leave companies. They leave the way work feels.
