As the Vice President at Rapid Robotics, Inc., I endeavor to build a high-performing team as diverse as the problems it aims to solve. My role is as deeply impacting as it is rewarding; not only do I architect the scale and scope of the organization, but I also directly influence our foundations of how we operate functionally and strategically as a team striving towards delivering world-changing technology. I have over ten years of experience in HR and project management and am certified in Scrum and HR management. My core competencies include leadership & executive development, global people strategy, risk mitigation, immigration, performance management, and employee engagement. Quick Highlights:✅ Led $XXMM Enterprise Change Management at the technical core of the largest employer in CA (Kaiser). I'm extremely proficient in leading technical and people changes across diverse populations (skill/demographic/focus).✅ Highly competent in building high-performing, world-class teams. ✅ Deeply informed on current policy, law, and best practices for operationalizing statutory objectives in the scope of fast-moving agile businesses.✅ Active People mentor with Start-Up Experts, engaging & coaching the next generation of People professionals. I've done full-stack HR, have led a few start-ups, and love to share my knowledge and experience.✅ Certified Bad Ass™ - I am not afraid to put my skills to the test. I race motorcycles, and I spearfish; I do things that others might not put full trust and faith into their skills and experience. I put my money where my mouth is and I don't give less than 100%. My mission is to amplify my colleagues' strengths and promote their holistic growth while contributing to the weave of the fabric that unifies our team. I do not create the organization's culture as much as I am privileged to be its caretaker, steward, and curator. I'm passionate about power technology to uplift the human experience, and I am always eager to learn and grow. I race motorcycles (AFM #624) and like to say, "Not a lot scares me." I love start-up life! I've also lived in Asia (China and Japan), which has deeply changed my perspective on the world and how I can impact it. Maya Angelou's words deeply resonate with me, and I hope to embody this spirit in my every day:"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
