The dawn of a new era and not just for me but...if I do my job well...all mankind as well. Strong words indeed, and rightly so! Kindly read on to see for yourselves how this becomes true:By combining Digital Technology, Expert Judgement, Sustainability, and "functionally realistic" Corporate Altruism I help any entity, anywhere in the world, come to understand what Quadruple Bottom Lines are. Based on those practices, I then design, implement, and/or directly execute on the very Policies, Processes, and resulting Programs necessary for materially benefitting from and otherwise enjoying a provable QBL either as an individual seeking to join such organizations, or the sponsoring enterprise itself (be it large, medium, or small...and agnostic of industry or sector, as well).In truth I've been doing this wittingly and, oftentimes, even unwittingly throughout my career as a proven, high-impact thought leader and critical thinker. Grander still, I've dedicated my wider existence to helping humanity evolve into what I can only hope becomes a real-life version of Star Trek someday (originally by way of best and next practices specific to Talent Acquisition but, in recent years, through more holistic business transformation as my chosen vehicle). Even so, only those that want AND deserve a QBL will garner a right-sized portion of my limited time here on Earth replete with the maximum possible amount of both effort (in general) and brand championship (specifically).

I'm privileged to have supported this innovative non-profit whose mission was to place separating US Military personnel into large enterprises and key SMBs as training and transition sponsors using a proprietary platform (GIGPilot). The verticals targeted were 5G, Aerospace, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Engineering, Cybersecurity, Defense, Healthcare, IoT, Logistics & Supply Chain, and Utilities.For my part, I offer this formal bio content shared with the ever-growing list of corporate partners we secured such as Trane, Cisco Systems, and Honeywell (as earliest adopter examples):"A twenty-plus year career dedicated entirely to aligning good people with life-changing opportunities, largely through transformation of Corporate Human Capital and its associated practices and behaviors as well. Being a provisioner of global thought leadership in this space not only benefits organizations of every scope and size competing for Diverse Top Talent but can measurably "change the world" in the process (especially when considering recruitment sits at the very nexus of our society, the intersection of Work and Life as it were). Tom fully enables and otherwise only believes in sustainable Hiring Initiatives that produce profoundly positive consequences for stakeholders and humanity alike."I highly recommend visiting SLAlabs.org then connecting with me if interested in helping (or simply curious to learn more)!

Here I had the privilege of joining VikingCloud's Chief People Officer on her strategic mission to build Global HR Centers of Excellence (all of which within my purview, noting Talent Management as our top priority, and while executing on our shared tactical mission in parallel; namely, the hiring of elite Business Development professionals into the CRO's Growth function).

It was my pleasure to design, implement, and otherwise formally lead the transformation of this wonderful organization's North America Talent Management function, itself achieved through the four classic phases of Discovery, Solutions Design, Implementation, and Change Management [with Real-time Monitoring for Continuous Improvement]. Despite being the last component of the overall Human Capital Transformation to formally receive outside consultancy this project was nonetheless its unanimous centerpiece. At this and frankly any organization, permanent C-level recognition of Hiring & Retention as the absolute top priority is simply one of many steps that not only evolve the intended TA functions but also overall corporate cultures as an intentional byproduct.That said, yet again I find myself humbled and privileged to have lent the time, energy, and passionate expertise required to effect sustainable changes within Human Capital and all it impacts.

Hired by the Board of Directors as fractional CEO for corporate steerage over six months full-time then four more part-time (and ad hoc ever since) of a healthcare technology company whose real-time platform helps hospitals and independent facilities across LATAM provide lifesaving patient services to what is now millions of people! In just ten months' time I re-blueprinted the entire organization, designed our go-forward strategy kicked off by multi-million dollar expansions into both Panama and Columbia, and led the daily execution of these and a litany of other initiatives specific to Growth & Innovation (the success-factored linchpin of which proved to be Talent Management Transformation of all things, itself by complementing an entirely new HRIS system with emergent next practices supportive of same).I can honestly report our progress continues to exceed every expectation, all of which is especially pleasant news given I joined mid-pandemic. Remaining the Managing Director but only engaged "as-needed" allowed me to undertake subsequent ventures with worthy organizations such as Epoch Games, TalentWoo, Komodo Health, World Education Services, VikingCloud, SLA Labs and, currently, Profound Logic!

They drive digital-led innovation and digitally-enabled intelligent operations for clients, guided by their experience running thousands of processes for Global Fortune 500 companies. They think with design, dream in digital, and solve problems with data and analytics. Combining expertise in end-to-end operations and their AI-based platform, Cora, they focus on the details (all 100,000 of them and growing)! From New York to New Delhi and more than 25 countries in between, they connect every dot, reimagine every process, and reinvent companies’ ways of working. They know that reimagining each step from start to finish will create better business outcomes. Whatever it is, they'll be there with you – accelerating digital transformation to create bold, lasting results – because transformation happens here.Through mastery of end-to-end Human Capital Management I measurably enhanced Genpact's ability to attract and retain certifiably gifted executives and SLT members across the entire organization while proving them the lynchpins for sustaining and even accelerating our historic growth (all as part of our bespoke McKinsey roadmap to double gross annual revenue within the decade following 2017). As such, Digital Domain expertise was both sought and sold worldwide (APAC, AMERICAS, EMEA) specific to Banking & Financial Services, Capital Markets, Global Supply Chain, Information & High Technology, Enterprise Sales & Marketing, Human Capital, Insurance, Heavy Industry Manufacturing (Aerospace, Automotive), Consumer Goods & Retail, and Life Sciences (Healthcare, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals).Machine Learning (ML), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Data Science underpin the transformation sold by these formal Lines of Service and I'm convinced such tools and the cultural DNA to match are mandatory for becoming an employer of choice and leader of one's chosen marketplace.

Energy Focus (NASDAQ: EFOI) is making good on its promise to become an Employer of Choice as it remains a world leader in Sustainable LED Lighting Technology Solutions.Clean, green lighting energy with proven health and productivity benefits for both children and adults has the potential to impact every last person on earth.The US Navy trusts Energy Focus to provide patented LED lighting technology for all its vessels.Now, Commercial Enterprises, countless Small & Medium Businesses, K-12 and Higher Education, Healthcare, and Municipalities both domestically and abroad are joining the Department of Defense as profoundly satisfied beneficiaries of their Triple Bottom Line.They have a strategically disbursed nation-wide sales force, a product development sourcing facility in Taiwan, and Corporate Headquarters in Cleveland (partly with my help, the executive Manhattan office in the Empire State Building where I worked was subsequently closed).This was another successful quick-hit mission to build a high-functioning COE capable of attracting the talent required to support the diverse Human Capital needs of the organization.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES (NASDAQ: GFS) is the world's first full-service semiconductor foundry with a truly global manufacturing and technology footprint executing on its vision to reshape the semiconductor industry. It's also history's largest and most capital-intensive "startup" with $15B of initial operational investment.Here I was responsible for rapidly evolving Talent Acquisition's capabilities in support of the formal HR transformation already underway, itself designed to help the company reach higher stages of Bersin's Maturity Frameworks. I was also responsible for the direct management and performance of thirteen (13) Corporate Recruiters located in New York (8), California (3), Argentina (1), and Ireland (1).My short-term mission was therefore to situate the team for continued success by implementing Taleo, measurably improving Candidate and Manager experiences, and becoming the semiconductor employer of choice alongside immediate need to hire critical 7nm talent in urgent but responsible manners. These endeavors and more were accomplished by designing and implementing a Recruitment Transformation Program based on five pillars I've since published through CEB Global (now Gartner): Sourcing & Channels, Branding & Engagement, Tools & Technology, Policy & Process, and Training & Development.

As a Talent Acquisition Manager I was accountable for portions of staffing under my purview specific to North, Central, and South America and otherwise led and drove the vision, strategy, and execution of all aspects of talent acquisition in the western hemisphere. I further contributed my share of content expertise and thought leadership on a global scale impacting all company-wide staffing efforts including processes, systems, and tools. I managed a team of eight (8) fantastic Recruiters while successfully undertaking all worldwide Executive-level* searches directly, myself. Another critical accountability centered on developing strategies that differentiated Lenovo from the competition with a focus on new technologies including social recruiting, sourcing platforms, and candidate engagement. Our strategically bifurcated teams handled Professional hiring in Sales and core Information Technology with mine being the latter (tasked with landing gifted Hardware and Software Engineers into all Business Units like Enterprise/Server, Personal Computing, Smart Devices & Mobile, and Ecosystem & Cloud). Our best-in-class Recruiters also hired for Product Marketing & Management, Finance & Accounting, Legal, Human Resources Centers of Excellence, and *Executive Leadership.I must say I've yet to work for a better company. Every facet of this organization is impressive and it would be unwise of anyone to underestimate Lenovo's operating capabilities. This is especially true combined with their visionary philosophies: bold and progressive yet clever and prudent. These qualities ensure success amid global business maelstroms.Consider this, a quote from their CEO, "Those who pursue extraordinary ideas and think beyond the possibilities of today will find a kindred spirit in Lenovo."​ Apply through LenovoCareers.com or connect here and I'd be happy to help you join what is one of the world's finest tech companies on par with admirable peers like Apple, Samsung, HP, and Dell.

Keystone member of US Recruitment team owning all Exempt staffing within the United States and selective similar roles across North America. Starting January 2011 I was offered an industry-first, in-house commissions + salary role handling crucial hard-to-fill Exempt positions specifically elevated to me by affected BU Executives (elite professional requirements of the highest possible caliber and importance demanding nothing less than world-class talent at the head of their respective fields). Due to intense volume I rejoined the core US Recruitment team in May 2012 to manage critical Sales & Distribution (S&D) hiring.Upon starting at IBM I originally owned the hiring piece for the Rational Division of Software Group (SWG). Nearly fifteen months later I was then tasked with leading the integration of every acquisition through S&D excepting Cognos. These included Buildforge, Consul, Datapower, FilesX, Infodyne, Micromuse, MRO, Princeton Softech, Telelogic, Vallent, Watchfire, and Webdialogs. I was then aligned with Global Technology Services (GTS) managing all Experienced Professional placement for Business Process Development (BPD). From there, I assumed full leadership of all urgent staffing activities at IBM's amazing Semiconductor Facility in Burlington, Vermont after which I was promoted to managing Exempt hiring for the Systems & Technology Group (STG) which involved the continued acquisition of gifted professionals in the Microelectronics field.I also managed many projects over time, including assistance with a Global Recruiting effort placing existing IBM talent in overseas growth markets like BRIC as well as pivotal support for a highly-publicized ITD initiative in Dubuque specific to conducting the preliminary research leading to that site’s selection. In summary, my recurring remit at IBM was to deescalate struggling Business Units by over-performing as I returned them to maintenance mode (C-SAT and ARR-saving tasks I never once failed to accomplish).

“All-in-Wunderkind” for Consolidated Electronics International, a private technology firm whose owner funded my relocation to North Carolina. At that moment it was a "mature start-up" requiring me to adopt a unique and creative combination of Business Development, Operations, and Human Resources skills whilst having limited resources / infrastructure.Successfully designed and implemented all Employee Benefits Plans from the ground up, authored the Employee Handbook, and filled every growth and attrition-based opening within Marketing, Sales, Distribution, Service, Support, Engineering [Software, Hardware, Industrial and Electrical], plus HR and Operations [Payroll, Benefits & Wellness, Finance & Accounting, Procurement, and Supply Chain].
