Driven by a passion for operational transformation and talent development, I firmly believe that the key to successful business transformation lies in a holistic approach that encompasses talent development, human resources, executive coaching and change management. My guiding principle is the integration of human resources and business operations to foster a culture of growth and innovation. I guide leadership teams and businesses through periods of transition, whether that involves navigating the complexities of acquisitions, dispositions, or the launch of new product lines. With a strong foundation in talent development and human resources, my expertise lies in driving business transformation and operational excellence. My specialties lie in change management, transformation, communications, human resources, benefits and compensation, payroll, talent strategy, HR operations, forecasting and budgeting. I have successfully led organizations through significant change mandates, including multiple acquisitions, dispositions, and other startup ventures within larger entities. I motivate leadership to inspire and align teams to reach their peak potential.Throughout my career, I've been privileged to achieve several significant milestones. As Chief Administrative Officer at Madison Square Garden Company, I was part of the leadership team that built the Sphere, a $2.3B entertainment venue with the most sophisticated sound system and the largest LED screens in the world. At Cablevision, Inc., I was part of the Leadership team that steered the transformation and sale of the company, resulting in a substantial increase in stock price. At AIG, Inc, I was a member of the global executive management team that re-paid the US Government the $2B loan that was made to AIG during the 2008 financial crisis. My goal is to leverage my experience and skills to help leadership teams navigate change and achieve their strategic objectives. Whether it's leading a business through a period of transformation or developing a talent strategy that aligns with business goals,
