I lead strategic HR, labor relations, and workforce transformation across complex unionized and non-unionized organizations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At McCormick, I lead workforce planning, labor relations, talent acquisition, leadership development, compensation, compliance, and culture transformation. I delivered a UFCW agreement in three weeks, reducing negotiation time by more than 80%, and redesigned sick-time policy for 7,700 employees to reduce absenteeism 13%.
Across Mueller, Lanxess, Kraft Foods, and Delphi, I’ve led HR strategy, collective bargaining, workforce analytics, organizational design, HR operations, and M&A integration in manufacturing environments. I’ve negotiated agreements generating more than $9M in annual savings and supported Kraft’s corporate split, contributing to $15M in annual cost savings.
I bring SPHR, Six Sigma Greenbelt, and Labor Relations Professional Certification credentials, along with military leadership experience. I build scalable HR systems, develop leaders, and balance business outcomes with employee wellbeing.
