People Ops · Global Mobility · Web & AI

Anna Gaudia

I build compliant, people-focused operations for teams that work across borders, and the websites, tools, and AI workflows that run them.

Expertise

Operations that scale across borders

15+ years in people operations, global mobility, and employment compliance, paired with hands-on web and software work. I have managed payroll and benefits across 10+ countries, set up employment structures and entities, and developed policies for remote and mobile teams. I also design and build websites, custom tools, and AI-assisted workflows, so the strategy and the systems that run it come from the same place. I have worked with fintechs, startups, think tanks, and global brands.
