Description

What I do?

Build People Partnerships that deliver impact. Bringing hands-on experience from senior business strategy and operational leadership roles.

Hi, I´m Leila. I’m a Senior People Partner with deep experience in high-growth, tech-led and multinational environments.

I bring over a decade of experience as a Senior People Partner to leadership teams, combined with strong business side experience, having held senior roles in Chief of Staff, COO & Strategy functions.

My work is outcome-driven. I focus on strategy execution, OKRs, and measuring real business impact.

I work fractionally by design, stepping in quickly to discover, build, unblock, and deliver what teams need across product, engineering, and People functions.
