I was the HR Manager dedicated to leadership and cultural improvement within a private equity owned pharmaceutical manufacturing organization. I brought a people and robust organizational process focus designed to foster an environment of fairness and team success. I implemented succession planning, performance assessment, performance management, and employee engagement systems linked to organizational success factors. I also led the strategic expansion of the site by doubling the personnel and implementing an additional shift to support client demands. I will miss the dedication to saving lives among those I served and worked with.
