Mediocrity is intolerable; we ignore it or condemn it in poetry, music, painting, and public speeches. I strive daily to eliminate mediocrity and promote excellence in people across a range of industries; finance, retail, automotive and heavy equipment. For over 20 years I have built and developed Human Resources teams that make administrative tasks invisible, overcoming the burden of compliance & rules with a positive culture that identifies the greatness of people to be celebrated and encouraged onward.As an HR Executive for a growing company, Gateway Dealer Network, I have had to adapt and lead through industry challenges, ownership changes, and expanding business opportunities. It is through these difficult times that I have had success in building great teams though common purpose of service, support, and celebration of people. In my life, I value hard work, enthusiasm and humility as building blocks to excellence. I continue to learn with every experience, formal and informal, professional and personal to understand my business, the value of people and my role as a leader. As their Vice President of HR, I am proud to work for a company that recognizes great people and seeks to add more to our family.
