I lead enterprise change programs that increase adoption and sustain business outcomes.
What I'm looking for
At Waves Change, I lead end-to-end organizational change management for Core HCM enhancements, increasing enterprise adoption by 30% through integrated readiness, communications, enablement, reinforcement, and measurement strategies.
I've led enterprise change initiatives for Dollar Tree, Inland Empire Health Plan, Trellix/McAfee, and L.A. Metro. My work has supported Workday transformations affecting 16,000+ employees, SharePoint modernization across 10,000 employees, and global Salesforce, Clari, and Sales Operations changes.
I partner with senior leaders to diagnose adoption risks, align change plans to business priorities, and turn strategy into practical roadmaps. I build change champion networks, leader toolkits, learning journeys, job aids, and communications that help people adopt new ways of working.
I've reduced user inquiries by 25%, support tickets by 35%, and leadership-transition ramp-up time by 40%. I bring a psychology and management-and-leadership foundation to change work centered on measurable adoption and lasting outcomes.
