“HR Shared Services becomes powerful when it moves beyond transactional delivery to become the strategic engine of the people function.

He has also led large-scale HR technology transformations, implementing platforms such as SuccessFactors, SAP HANA Payroll, and ServiceNow to enable data-driven decision-making at scale.
