What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role where I can leverage my operations management expertise to drive strategic initiatives and promote continuous improvement.

I am a seasoned leader with over 20 years of experience in enhancing operations across various sectors, including Legal Education, Human Resources, and Telecommunications. My career has been defined by a commitment to leading diverse teams to achieve significant improvements in performance and efficiency. I am skilled in Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, with a strong analytical focus on managing risks and ensuring client satisfaction.

In my current role as Sr. Manager of Operations Excellence at Pontoon/The Adecco Group, I lead an international team of process managers, driving projects that reduce costs and increase speed to revenue. My efforts have transformed team culture, significantly improved employee satisfaction, and identified over $100 million in process waste. Additionally, I have a proven track record of developing high-performing teams and implementing effective performance management guidelines.

As Operations Director at Training Resolved LLC, I manage business operations and lead training initiatives globally. I have successfully expanded our training offerings and revenue through innovative digital platforms and strategic partnerships.
