At Takeda Pharmaceuticals, I led the US business culture work during the Takeda-Shire merger, embedding “Curious, Connected, Courageous” in employee programs. I also designed an onboarding program that connected new employees to organizational values, priorities, and culture.
At Takeda, I led global R&D HR through a transformation of the operating model, global footprint, and site strategy. I engaged with EU works councils and a Japanese union, while the transformation eliminated or outsourced over 1,500 roles.
At APTINYX, INC., I led HR for a 40-employee organization and introduced programs to connect employees with the company’s mission and values. I also implemented Paylocity and automated performance management, development planning, and onboarding processes.
At ASSERTIO THERAPEUTICS, I led HR, IT, and Facilities and supported an organization of 60 employees. I implemented a Learning Management System and helped redefine Assertio’s Vision and Values, developing a recognition program based on the new Values.
