Our biggest success lies in our people. As a $2.2B medical system with 14K employees and 7 hospitals in my region, I report directly to the CHRO and have spent the last 4 years investing in our internal talent, creating leadership opportunities for staff ready to stretch their competencies, improving HR team satisfaction (by 12%), and supporting a culture of achievement. Key highlights include:✅ Aligning HR policies with current industry best practices and lean management practices✅ Increasing instances of manager coaching by 7%✅ Reducing reliance on outsourced recruiting and saving ✅ Ramping up high volume hiring for 1K more positions filled YOY✅ Decreasing employee churn✅ Creating a new compensation model that improved employee retention and employee experience✅ Leading HR M&A activities after the acquisition of St. Louis University Hospital – negotiating 2 labor agreements – and folding in 2K new staff into our network

Initially hired in HR operations as HR Director, I was promoted to VP after only 18 months and led a large team of 60+ HR professionals as well as managed a $30M annual budget. My contributions were twofold:✅ Leading the labor work stream for the $29B Medco and Express Scripts M&A, and negotiating 19 collective bargaining agreements✅ Saving $200M by strategically designing and executing a full reorganization backed by another $100M in cost reductions before the end of 2014Going from 3K to 12K employees during the acquisition, my main strategy for incorporating staff into the Express Scripts family was to focus on developing a strong HR team capable of making high-level, strategic decisions and eliminating redundancy. Once concluded, we had a unified, high performing work force.

HR Director during the height of the recent recession, I served as HR leader during a restructuring and downsizing. I reduced the workforce by 3K employees and in doing so with transparent communications, integrity, and ethics – successfully concluded a large-scale RIF with $0 downstream legal costs or claims. In addition, I gained practical experience across all aspects of HR: employee relations, talent acquisition, compensation, organizational development, and employee benefits administration.
