Executive Overview

With over two decades of experience in human resources, I currently serve as an Advisor at Pinnacle, where I contribute to redefining how organizations develop their workforce in the age of AI. Focused on integrating AI-driven coaching into workplace environments, I aim to make employee support continuous, personalized, and accessible at all levels. Previously, I held leadership positions, including Chief Human Resource Officer at other companies and industries and today I am the CHRO at Toshiba, where I guide human capital strategies and organizational planning. My expertise in global HR management and SAP ERP has enabled me to support teams and organizations with innovative, effective human resource practices that align with modern technological advancements.
