What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead workforce readiness, learning, organizational effectiveness, or HR transformation work where I can partner with executives and operations leaders to build scalable capability, leadership, and change systems.

I’ve led global workforce readiness and finance modernization at McDonald’s, building learning, onboarding, and transition strategies for 800+ employees across 47 audiences. My team delivered six weeks early, achieved readiness 40% above benchmark, and reduced time to proficiency by 15%.

Across Accenture, NTT DATA Services, and Reach Partners, I’ve helped organizations translate operating-model change into capability roadmaps, learning ecosystems, reskilling journeys, and adoption strategies. I’ve led global change communications reaching 46,000+ employees in 28 countries and supported transformations spanning Agile, DevSecOps, e-commerce, and enterprise technology.

At Allstate, I built national leadership development, proficiency frameworks, learning technology governance, and CRM learning for 10,000+ agencies. I also led field capability and agency-owner onboarding, driving CRM adoption to 98% and growing assigned premium from $105 million to $121 million.

I bring hands-on HR operations experience in recruiting, onboarding, payroll and compensation support, employee relations, compliance, analytics, and manager development. I’m most effective partnering with executives and operations leaders to make workforce change practical, measurable, and sustainable.
