As an HR strategist, I stay ahead of the curve to help enterprises grow, scale, and adapt. To ensure the workforce is prepared to meet evolving company needs, I focus on developing future leaders and upskilling current talent for critical capabilities.Balancing strategy and execution, I embed agility into HR structure so it can flex to changing business needs and accommodate modern talent management tools. As a strategic partner, I work closely with senior leadership teams and other stakeholder groups to determine the talent implications of long-term business goals and how HR can support the strategic priorities.Some leaders are great visionaries and others can rally support for new ideas, but long-term business success requires people who repeatedly drive initiatives over the finish line. Inspired by John C. Maxwell’s words, “Lead by doing what others won’t do: drive to completion”, I deliver all three. Recognized as an influential people strategist, I ensure that company values and culture are maintained during rapid growth and post-acquisition assimilation. I take great pride in the true cultural transformations I have delivered at Kaman, Legrand, and Barnes by changing minds as well as behaviors. My consulting experience at PwC early in my career provided a strong foundation for the HR leadership success I’ve achieved in aerospace, defense, and high tech manufacturing. I am a natural collaborator who enjoys working with others to develop long term solutions to business challenges.My biggest contributions to organizational success, to date, have been related to: ► Aligning HR strategy with business strategy ► Solidifying leadership stability through succession planning at the top 3 leadership tiers ► Prioritizing people’s needs and employee growth to retain critical talent ► Driving successful post-acquisition workforce integrations (one during COVID) ► Orchestrating a private equity acquisition and taking a $1B global enterprise from public to privateMy specialties include:People Strategy | Employee Experience | M&A Workforce Assimilation | Executive Compensation | Culture Building | Internal Mobility | Succession Planning | Talent Pipelines | Change Initiatives | Data Analysis | Employee Engagement | Talent Management | Learning and Development | Compensation Reviews | Performance Optimization
