As a forward-looking HR strategic partner, I have nearly two decades of experience developing and executing transformational change initiatives for both emerging and Fortune 1000 companies across diverse industries. Throughout my career, I have achieved recognition as a trusted advisor and business partner, earning a reputation for converting transactional, reactive HR departments into strategy-minded, high-performance teams and building continuous improvement cultures. My background encompasses a repeated history of directing the design/delivery of onboarding and training programs that improve engagement, productivity, retention, and promotion rates.In my current role as Director, HR for Cox Automotive, I lead a two-member team supporting 20+ finance leaders, focused on delivering people strategies and support organization design efforts for the company’s Finance group (1,100+ employees). In two years, I completed seven Finance group reorganizations, championed eight department-focused restructure projects, and led an ongoing rightsizing project.Earlier in my career, I progressed through increasingly responsible HR management roles with Cbeyond over eight years, leading efforts that resulted in a highly effective HR department (30+ employees) enabling the 2K+-employee company to meet both organic and acquisition growth goals. I launched my career in foundational HR positions.I hold a Master of Science in Management with a specialization in Human Resources and a Certificate in Business Strategy from the Human Resources Leadership Academy.
