Misty Irizarry

I am a seasoned Senior Human Resources professional with two decades of experience across diverse sectors including healthcare, retail, and technology. My career began at Neiman Marcus, a distinguished luxury retailer, where I successfully led the online merchant internship program and implemented an innovative succession planning tool, enhancing talent development within the organization.

Relocating to Austin, Texas, I transitioned into the Med Tech industry, providing strategic HR guidance to Regional Sales Leaders at St. Jude Medical. In this role, I traveled nationwide to share HR best practices, with a particular focus on performance management, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability.

During my tenure at ADP in the PEO Division, I collaborated with over 30 clients across various industries, advising small business owners on effective strategies to mitigate people-related risks while facilitating the growth and scalability of their organizations.

At Vizient, a leading healthcare performance improvement company, I provided support to multiple client groups, including the Pharmacy organization, the 340B Apexus organization, and Provista, the company's non-acute business segment. In this capacity, I contributed to enhancing employee engagement and talent development across diverse healthcare settings.

Most recently, I led transformative people initiatives for the Marketing organization at JCPenney, another iconic retailer, where I focused on aligning HR strategies with business objectives to drive organizational change.
