My skills include being highly detail-oriented, punctual, and proficient in MS Office. I am fluent in English, Russian, and Georgian. In my current role as Head of People and Culture at SkyTech Enterprises, I lead HR functions, measure employee satisfaction, manage performance, and oversee recruitment, training, and policy implementation to ensure compliance with employment laws. Throughout my career, I have taken on diverse roles that highlight my ability to build and transform HR departments from the ground up. At Orbital Gaming, I have been instrumental in establishing HR functions since the company's inception, focusing on strategic resource planning, talent acquisition, policy implementation, and employee development. As a freelance HR consultant, I have collaborated with various tech companies to optimize their HR processes and talent strategies. Additionally, my tenure at Evolution saw me grow the employee base from zero to over 1000, while developing effective HR strategies and enhancing employer branding. My educational background in Organizational Psychology from Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University underpins my strong foundation in HR management.Tech Stack
