About

My background spans various industries where I have functioned as a trusted advisor, strategic business partner with a sense of urgency in executing on business goals, driver of change and performance management, and have lead due diligence in acquisitions. Professional and polished, I have gained a depth and breadth of experience and training from some of the business world's best companies, and I am eager for new challenges that combine my passion for transforming an organization from a cost center to an organizational competitive advantage as the "Go-To" resource. I have provided list of key highlights of my skills and expertise in:
• Talent Acquisition & Talent Management: Introduced a structured behavioral interview/selection process to aid in hiring the best qualified candidates and implemented the use of internet recruiting tools in place of retained & contingent search firms. Annual cost savings: $150,000.00.
• Total Rewards: compensation and bonus strategy development focusing on attracting, engaging & retaining top talent cultivating a culture of employee innovation, performance & staff engagement.
• Performance Management & Performance Improvement-Succession management, employee and coaching, training & development and 360 feedback tool to enhance manager and key staff skills and abilities.
• Utilizing employee surveys to increase employee engagement and establish proactive action plans for staff.
• Leveraging HRIS systems, and HR Analytics, Applicant Tracking software and other workforce planning HR Metrics to measure performance and production, as well as to establish concrete data analytics utilized for informed decision making at the senior leadership level.
• Highly developed interpersonal and listening skills, which not only provides a strong understanding of the "business pulse" and needs of the organization, but also allow for proactive measures to ensure continued engagement and retention of the workforce during challenging times.
• Fostering diversity initiatives, awareness, inclusion programs and affinity groups, and complete and manage federal, state & local labor law compliance, workers comp, unemployment and FMLA leave compliance.
