What I'm looking for

I seek senior HR leadership roles where I can scale people strategy, lead HR transformations, drive M&A integrations, and partner with executives to improve retention and performance in multi-site organizations.

I am a forward-thinking HR executive with deep experience leading enterprise-wide people strategy, scaling organizations from ~100 to 1,450+ employees, and partnering with boards, private equity stakeholders, and senior leadership to accelerate growth and improve retention. I have led HRIS selection and implementation, designed comprehensive compensation programs, and delivered multi-year leadership development initiatives that measurably improved retention, engagement, and performance.

I bring proven expertise in M&A integration, workforce analytics, total rewards, and building HR infrastructures across multi-site and remote environments in healthcare revenue cycle, manufacturing, education services, and corporate services. I am recognized as a thought leader and have a track record of driving operational HR transformation, strengthening talent acquisition, and creating scalable people systems aligned to business goals.
