I am passionate about the importance of great talent to the success of business.Over a career that spans 30 years, I have been fortunate to have worked in multiple companies that had a real and differentiated approach to making the most of the talented people that worked there.I have led HR and Talent teams that made a real difference in the readiness of the business for growth and the optimization of day to day operations. These companies committed time, attention and resources to identifying and investing in the people part of their business. Regardless of whether it is new graduates, emerging talent or leaders in the succession pipeline, the focus was clear and well communicated.These environments have allowed me to develop world-class programs, policies and practices that have set the bar for people in my profession. I wish everyone had the benefit of the companies and senior leaders I have worked for and with. These experiences continue to define my professional identity and are the cornerstones of the work I love to do. As a Peer Advisor for the International Center for Executive Options (ICEO), I partner with senior executives in transition to make their next move in a thoughtful and focused way, utilizing current strengths and creating opportunities for continued growth.
