Where HR Strategy
meets Technology

I'm Nadia Drissa, founder of DRS Consulting: HR & Tech — a specialist HR transformation practice based in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

With 10+ years of experience and 6 successful system implementations across Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle and PeopleSoft, I work with large organisations across Europe, America and the Middle East to unlock the full potential of their HR function.

My approach is practical, not theoretical — every recommendation is built to be implemented, not filed away. I work on-site in Abu Dhabi and remotely across Europe, North Africa and the USA.
