Kyle Almeida

I am an HR Leader with over ten years of global experience across diverse regions including the UAE, KSA, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. Throughout my career, I have partnered with organizations across various industries such as construction, real estate, oil & gas, hospitality, medical, automotive, fintech, software services, and banking. This broad exposure has equipped me with a well-rounded and adaptable approach to solving HR challenges, regardless of sector or scale.

My core belief is that people are a company’s greatest asset — and how they’re managed defines the success and sustainability of the business. I am enthusiastic about helping both companies and individuals reach their maximum potential through proper people and culture management. I approach every engagement with a focus on aligning people strategies with business goals, building high-performing teams, and fostering inclusive, growth-driven environments.

I specialize in HR operations, recruitment, employee engagement, learning & development, and performance management. My strengths lie in driving efficiency across HR systems and processes, building scalable frameworks, and enabling leadership teams to make sound, data-informed people decisions. I have also led several end-to-end HR setups for growing businesses, from policy design to system implementation and compliance.

With a strong background in both strategic and hands-on HR roles, I’ve been successful in delivering HR transformation projects, improving retention, and strengthening workforce productivity. I am highly proficient with systems such as Workday, IFS, PeopleSoft, SmartRecruiters, Bullhorn, ZOHO, and MiHCM — allowing me to plug into any environment with minimal ramp-up time.

As a freelancer, I aim to bring this experience and energy into short-term or project-based roles where organizations need agile HR expertise, reliable delivery, and a solutions-focused mindset. Whether you need support building a talent strategy, implementing performance frameworks, enhancing employee experience, or simply getting your HR function on track — I’m here to support that journey.

Let’s connect and see how we can build better people strategies together.
