Background

About Anna Halastra

I'm a Business Operations Manager with 15+ years of experience delivering agile solutions that drive operational excellence, accelerate team success, and strengthen company brand. Recognized for outstanding communication, strategic relationship-building, leadership, business development, and accountability. Proven ability to influence outcomes, lead internal initiatives, and manage cross-functional projects. I have experience in building and leading a growing team to meet the demands of a dynamic and increasingly complex environment with a consistent focus on fostering an inclusive, positive culture rooted in support and empowerment, enabling others to thrive and perform at a high level. I entered the IT industry as a humanist with no technical background. Nearly a decade into my career in IT, I see it as proof that openness, adaptability, and determination can take you far. Committed to ongoing personal development, I recently earned a postgraduate degree in Business Management and began learning Italian. Outside of professional life, I'm actively engaged in volunteering and civic initiatives, including leading large-scale fundraising events that mobilized hundreds of participants in support of charitable causes. Leadership roles include chairing a school parents' board to foster effective cooperation and community building, as well as co-leading educational programs for teenagers to support their development, promote equal opportunities, and cultivate entrepreneurial skills for future growth. Business aside: Enthusiastic traveler and planner, happiest when exploring new places or spending quality time with loved ones — including the four-legged family member.
