Learning & Development Manager | LMS Strategy | AI-Powered Training Architect

I’m a Learning and Development leader focused on building scalable systems that improve workforce performance across multi-site organizations.
In my current role, I designed and implemented an AI-supported multilingual learning system delivering daily training across 65 sites. This approach increased first-time certification pass rates from approximately 85% to 99%, reduced retraining time, and improved consistency in food safety execution.
Throughout my career, I’ve led training and culture initiatives that drive measurable business outcomes. This includes reducing employee turnover by 15% by strengthening frontline leadership capability and standardizing training across multiple locations.
My work sits at the intersection of learning strategy, technology, and operational performance. I focus on building systems, not just delivering training, that scale, improve consistency, and solve real business problems.
I’m currently exploring opportunities where I can operate at a higher level in learning strategy, learning operations, or organizational development, particularly in environments that value scalable systems and measurable impact.
