Message

At UKG, I advise executive and operational leaders on the business value of workforce transformation. I build business cases, ROI models, and transformation roadmaps that connect workforce technology to measurable financial, operational, and employee outcomes.

Before consulting, I owned labor forecasting and workforce-management processes at GameStop across a retail organization of more than 4,000 stores. I redesigned forecasting methods and Excel-based models to make forecasts more detailed, accurate, and useful for operations.

At GameStop, I also developed programs for pre-owned hardware and new business opportunities, including business cases, financial models, and pilot programs. I bring together workforce strategy, operations, technology, and executive conversations to help organizations turn complex challenges into practical next steps.
