Farrah Hatoum

I’m a Strategic Human Resources Executive with 12+ years driving organizational growth, cultural transformation, and talent optimization across education, government, and corporate sectors in the U.S. and international markets. I lead enterprise-wide HR transformations that strengthen culture, improve retention, and align people strategy with complex business goals.

As a Senior Human Resources Business Partner (Remote) for KONNECT, I partner with executives to design scalable HR solutions and advise on employee relations, performance management, and compliance. I also deliver executive workshops focused on leadership, DEI, and organizational agility, while leading HR projects such as HRIS implementation, policy audits, and restructuring initiatives.

Previously, as Director of Human Resources at WISE Academy, I revamped total rewards—boosting retention by 22% and increasing employee satisfaction scores by 18% in 12 months. I also built multi-year workforce plans tied to student growth projections and developed monthly compliance and leadership training to improve internal audit readiness.

At GPS Solutions, I directed HR for 200+ employees and led DEI hiring initiatives that increased minority representation by 15%. I implemented Dayforce HRIS to cut payroll processing time by 50%, reduce benefits errors to <1%, and improve reporting speed by 35%, while supporting executives with workforce analytics, compliance, and long-term talent strategies.
