Strategy for creating a talent-focused culture…“To win in the marketplace, employees will be the differentiator. Companies need the right people, in the right roles, with the right skills, doing their best work, to beat the competition.”To be successful in creating this type of culture, advanced efforts to recruit, engage, develop, grow, and reward people will also achieve greater efficiency in both process and expense.Leadership, to me, is the ability to inspire others to achieve shared objectives. The key difference between managers and leaders is that mangers tell people what to do, while leaders inspire them to do it.My expertise is developing, leading and executing HR strategies in support of overall business plan and strategic direction of the organization — talent acquisition, succession planning, compensation & benefits, organizational & performance leadership, training & development, metrics & analytics, change management.As a corporate strategic business advisor, I have a holistic understanding of organizational infrastructure. I work in tandem with business executives to determine how to best use talent resources to shape and support business goals as well as create strong talent pipelines to enhance decision-making and secure future growth. From US-based staff to global team leadership in the UK and Asia-Pacific I initiated recruiting strategies that met organizational needs of all corporate functions while meeting country staffing requirements. I also established the first global enterprise-wide Center of Excellence (COE) focused on global campus recruiting.I’m geographically flexible and forward-thinking executive who implements initiatives that cut across functional areas to create compelling value proposition and leverage people talents and technology resources. I utilize solid human capital metrics and analytics, digital tools, common sense, and internal cultural know-how to move ideas to action.
