After 20 years leading teams across HR functions at Google and Capital One, I left the corporate world to take a leadership role at a public benefit company, Wider Circle focused on connecting neighbors for better health. I lead our 10-person HR team and since joining in April 2022 my team and I have overhauled our compensation to be more systematic and performance-driven, rolled out a performance management process, instituted job levels, strengthened onboarding, cut employee attrition by >40% and increased our workforce's feelings of connectedness and likelihood to recommend Wider Circle as a place to work, all while growing our employee count at an annualized rate of >100%.I'm a collaborative and pragmatic Human Resources leader with a business and analytical background that stands out in the field. I choose to focus my career in HR because workplaces are often dysfunctional, but I see work as foundational both to people's sense of self and their ability to support themselves and their family. My focus is building teams, and improving organizational culture and business performance through implementation of analytically-grounded people strategies and processes. Before becoming the VP of Human Resources at Wider Circle, I led teams in People Analytics, Compensation, L&D and Operations and worked as a People Partner (HRBP).Specialties: Workforce analytics, HR business partnering, human capital management, human resources consulting, workforce planning, compensation, change management, predictive modeling, human resources metrics, prediction markets, surveys, HRIS, talent management, product management, human resources technology, California employment law.
