Making things happen makes sense to me. As a leader, I like to create clarity, focus on what could be better and then act. Process improvement is a huge priority to me, and change is a necessary catalyst. Turning ideas into action and making things happen is contagious and engaging.I have a forthcoming nature and I like to connect with people. My preference is for meaningful conversation over small talk. I value the verbal give-and-take of a lively discussion, especially with my team. I want to learn about them to leverage and grow their skills, through being real, authentic, and sharing our “teachable-moments”. As a leader in Total Rewards I work closely and collaboratively with internal business partners to utilize data and our experiences, to design and administer the right solutions to help scale the organization. I do not take this responsibility lightly knowing that the most valuable resource in most companies is their people.What gives me energy:- My family - including 2 active young children- Traveling - a personal and professional goal is to live abroad temporarily (note dual citizenship below)- Pairing data with a holistic approach to provide strategic consultation- Using automation and process redesign to set organizations up for scale and enhance the customer experience- Designing and managing global rewards and recognition programs to align with strategic goals- Designing training and communications to bring clarity to people programsCitizenship: Dual US and Italian
