I build scalable people strategies, labor relations, and growth systems for multi-state operations.

At Encore Global, I led People strategy for the company’s largest region, supporting $500M+ in annual business, $90M+ payroll, and 4,000 team members across production, warehouse, and operational teams. I scaled the workforce from approximately 500 to 4,000 through expansion and acquisitions, reduced time to fill from 90 to 30 days, and maintained turnover below 10% during rapid growth.

I’ve served as chief spokesperson across 10 collective bargaining agreements and advised executive leaders on organizational design, workforce strategy, employee relations, risk, and transformation. I build practical operating models, leadership capability, integration frameworks, and HR systems that balance employee experience with operational performance.
