Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including launching a tuition reimbursement program that surpassed participation goals by 110% and implementing a competency-based performance management system that improved employee satisfaction scores across departments. I have directed global People Operations for VelocityEHS, ensuring compliance with employment laws across multiple countries while optimizing talent acquisition processes and enhancing retention strategies tailored to specific regions.
