Supporting Employees on a Mission That Matters

As an HR Operations Lead at Palo Alto Networks, I am part of an international EMEA-wide team responsible for ensuring HR processes are efficient and compliant, managing employee data and records,and supporting overall HR functions within the organization.

Our company is dedicated to protecting organizations and individuals from cyberthreats, ensuring their digital safety and security in an increasingly interconnected world. My job is to support the employees who make this happen, which I find just as important! When people feel cared for, they can do their best work and contribute to the very important goal of our company.

Implementing automation processes in connection to Onboarding was my first project at Palo Alto Networks, several years ago. To this day, I see that it made HR tasks easier and more accessible for everyone (HR and new joiners alike) as it streamlined processes, enhanced efficiency, and improved the overall new hire experience.

Palo Alto Networks has supported my personal growth and career journey significantly. I started as a contractor with People Team experience but no HR Ops roles under my belt and was soon converted to a full-time employee who has since grown to roles of increasing responsibility, from Specialist to Senior to Lead. Along the way, I have had the opportunity to learn extensively about HR practices and operations within the company, collaborate with numerous vendors and internal stakeholders, participate in projects of varied scope and met some amazing people along the way. 

Palo Alto Networks' mission of protecting our digital way of life resonates deeply with me, especially as a parent. I aspire to contribute to creating a safer digital environment for our children and future generations. The company's dedication to innovation, cybersecurity, and global impact aligns with my personal goal of making a positive difference in the world through my career.

The collaborative efforts between all regions at Palo Alto Networks have enabled us to make a global impact in the cybersecurity domain. By working together across different teams and locations, we can effectively address change together in this fast paced environment and do so worldwide. This collaborative approach amplifies the impact of our work and strengthens our collective efforts towards a safer digital future.
