What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead HR, employee relations, labor relations, compliance, and organizational change in a complex organization where I can develop leaders, build high-performing teams, and deliver people-centered solutions aligned with business goals.

I'm currently an HR Advisor at ABB Consulting, advising leadership on HR strategy, employee and labor relations, policy governance, and workplace compliance across multi-location, matrixed organizations.

Previously, I established the U.S. HR function for RBCx, Royal Bank of Canada's innovation banking and venture division, integrating talent strategy, compliance, and culture for new U.S. entities. At RBC, I led Employee Relations and Policy Governance operations, managing investigations, workplace risk, policy development, and regulatory compliance across diverse businesses.

Across leadership roles at Radisson Hotel Group, Post Holdings, The Mosaic Company, and Cargill, I've led HR strategy, labor relations, mergers and acquisitions integration, organizational change, investigations, and high-performance culture initiatives. I'm passionate about developing leaders, building accountable teams, and balancing business priorities with thoughtful, people-centered solutions.
