Sarah Hyat

I am a strategic HR and management professional with over 8 years of progressive experience leading human capital initiatives and operational transformation across diverse industries. My career reflects a strong blend of human resources leadership, organizational development, and operational management, with a proven ability to align people strategy with business growth.

Currently serving as Head of People & Culture at Pyatic Group, I lead initiatives that enhance employee engagement, culture, and performance including DEI integration, onboarding transformation, and recognition programs that boosted engagement scores by 30%. I also provide COO-level operational oversight across multiple subsidiaries, ensuring organizational alignment and efficiency.

Previously, as Head of Human Resources at New Frontier Developments Ltd, I directed end-to-end HR functions from workforce planning and performance management to policy design and employee relations. My leadership drove measurable outcomes, including a 40% increase in engagement, 25% reduction in grievances, and 30% rise in internal promotions.

My background also includes experience as Chief Operating Officer (Virtual) at Kamrum Integrated Farms, where I translated strategic vision into operational success, improving efficiency and leading business expansion initiatives. Earlier roles in administration and executive support further strengthened my project coordination, communication, and leadership skills.

I hold professional certifications in Personnel Management (ACIPM), Project Management, and Advanced Business Foundations, with a solid academic foundation in Public Administration and English Language.

I’m passionate about people, performance, and process excellence, and I’m now seeking career opportunities where I can contribute my HR leadership, operational insight, and strategic thinking to organizational success.
