With strong private practice and in-house counsel experiences, I have the proven ability to serve as a key business partner to executive and HR leaders. As VP & Executive Counsel for Diebold Nixdorf since 2014, I transformed our global labor and employment law infrastructure; reengineered processes to improve effectiveness; and mitigated exposure and reduced litigation through a proactive global compliance posture.★ ★ ★Stepping back a little bit, I have a deep-rooted interest in history, culture, and global citizenship. I joined two private law firms and gained international experience providing strategic labor and employment counsel to clients with diverse organizations, expansion goals, and strategic priorities.★ ★ ★Joining Diebold over a decade ago, I completely revamped how we managed global labor and employment operations supporting the HR function that was vital as we ventured into the company’s largest-ever acquisition which created the world-class environment we have today for our 21,000+ global team members operating in over 65 countries.★ ★ ★Working in collaboration with global HR leaders, I am a trusted resource to executives seeking strategic business, labor and employment, EH&S, compensation, and benefits counsel. I understand the risk and necessity of business decisions, moving forward in the face of risk, addressing issues along the way to mitigate exposure, and instilling a proactive risk and compliance posture enterprise-wide.
