I build recruiting organizations that solve business problems, not simply fill open positions.

I'm a Talent Acquisition and Hiring Operations leader who builds, transforms, and scales recruiting functions by combining great people, smart processes, modern technology, and disciplined operational strategy.

I've led national recruiting and hiring operations teams supporting organizations with annual hiring volumes ranging from 600 to more than 7,000, including operations spanning 600+ locations.

My approach starts with understanding the business. Where are the hiring bottlenecks? What's driving cost? What talent does the organization need to grow? And how can we build a recruiting model that delivers measurable results without sacrificing the candidate or hiring manager experience?

Where I deliver value:

Talent Acquisition Strategy & Transformation: Building scalable recruiting models aligned with workforce needs, organizational priorities, and business growth.

Hiring Operations & Operational Excellence: Improving recruiting, pre-boarding, onboarding, compliance, and process efficiency. Creating strong hiring manager and candidate experiences.

Financial Performance: Reducing agency spend, optimizing vendor partnerships, improving cost efficiency, and managing recruiting resources strategically.

Technology, AI & Automation: Leveraging ATS/HRIS technology, recruiting analytics, and automation to improve productivity and hiring workflows.

Workforce Planning & Talent Strategy: Connecting hiring demand, workforce pipelines, recruiting capacity, and business objectives.

Leadership & Team Development: Building engaged, accountable, high-performing teams through trust, coaching, transparency, and genuine investment in people.

I believe great leadership is measured by more than the results a team delivers. It's reflected in the people you develop, the culture you create, and the strength of the organization you build. As a leader, my philosophy is simple. Give people clarity, trust them to deliver, challenge them to grow, advocate for their success, and create an environment where they feel safe and can do their best work.

I'm exploring Director, Senior Director, and Head of Talent Acquisition or Hiring Operations opportunities where I can lead, build, modernize, or scale recruiting functions.

I'm a firm believer in leveraging technology to make recruiting smarter and more efficient, while keeping the HUMAN in Human Resources.
