As a visionary executive, strategic thinker, and change agent for innovation-driven companies, I balance business and HR priorities to deliver outstanding outcomes across multiple KPIs. Working in both startup and established companies, I have the entrepreneurial spirit, motivational leadership, and business know-how to transform enterprise organizations.I thrive in companies at the threshold of change. Both employees and stakeholders know they can trust me to meet their needs despite disruptions or other challenges in the marketplace. Moreover, I back up my recommendations with data-driven reporting, which also builds the confidence of top-level leaders.Highlights of my achievements include:- Accomplished CHRO for publicly traded global companies in the midst of transformation and growth. - Successful Chief Administration Officer driving both Information Technology and Human Resources functions for a publicly traded multi-national business, Emcore Corporation.- Developed an award-winning wellness culture for the SaaS company CalAmp and increased employee’s utilization of preventative care. - Creatively engaged employees during the 'Great Resignation', reducing attrition.- Worked directly with the Board of Director Committees (Human Capital & Gov/Nom) to develop and implement succession plans as well as the short and long term incentive plans for C-level executives.A child of immigrants, I grew up speaking Spanish before English. My multicultural background has prepared me to work well with different personalities, a trait that’s served me well in people management. I also enjoy traveling and photography – one of my favorite trips was seeing the Last Supper painting in Milan, Italy!Please reach out to discuss executive or board opportunities.
