The people who make up an organization are its most valuable assets. They are the innovators, the drivers of change, and the profit makers. I have devoted my career to aligning people with business needs, enabling both employees and business organizations to succeed. As a labor relations executive, I serve as a bridge between management and organized labor, keeping the best interests of both in mind as I drive business goals forward. I began my career in the field with Chrysler, where I quickly learned that partnership, collaboration, and managing conflict go a long way toward bringing everyone together to work toward a common goal. I presently lead labor relations for MGM Resorts, where I define the labor negotiation strategy for this multi-billion-dollar hospitality company. I have successfully reengineered the management/labor relationship by conducting myself as an ambassador of change rather than as an agent of opposition. To that end, I have been able to drive improvements in operational efficiency, and have renegotiated 6 union contracts to deliver $2M in savings over a 4-year period.
