OATLY, INC                                                    2017-2023 

Director, People Experience, New York, NY (Remote)

I orchestrated a transformative candidate-to-employee journey during a period of rapid growth, fostering motivation and inspiration as our population tripled in less than a year. Through streamlining the new hire process, I optimized onboarding, enhanced program enrollment accuracy, and improved People team communication. I collaborated with the DE&I manager to establish a robust diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy, with data-driven tracking and team-specific action plans. Additionally, I meticulously designed and managed annual cross-functional meetings, promoting better alignment, increased collaboration, and elevated team morale by overseeing all aspects from planning to execution.

As the sole team member, I pioneered Oatly's North American event strategy, orchestrating 15 successful tradeshows annually and planning grassroots marketing activations across the US. I managed teams of over 20 members per event, providing comprehensive training and overseeing communications, messaging, and day-to-day tasks for full-time employees, part-timers, and freelancers. I served as the on-site point of contact, ensuring flawless execution, and adhered to budget while finding cost-saving solutions without compromising quality. Additionally, I designed and executed employee-focused events to strengthen team bonds through various on-site, off-site, and remote activities.
