What I'm looking for

Seeking a strategic HR leadership role where I can leverage my expertise in talent management and organizational development to drive business growth and foster a positive workplace culture.

With over 25 years of experience in human resources, I have developed a strong expertise in strategic HR management, leadership development, and operational excellence. My career spans various industries, where I have successfully implemented HR programs that drive organizational growth and employee engagement.

In my role as HR Director at Newcore Industries, I led the creation of efficient systems and processes, reducing manpower placement time by 90 days. I also conceptualized an Employee Referral Program that contributed 30% of annual hires and developed a KRA/KPI-based performance management system that improved team performance and reduced attrition.

My earlier roles at Learning Just Made Better Inc. and Hydra Centaurus Research Services further honed my skills in talent acquisition, employee development, and organizational restructuring. I am passionate about fostering a positive work environment and driving strategic initiatives that align with organizational goals.
