What I'm looking for

I seek senior HR leadership where I can partner with visionary leaders to architect talent systems, modernize HR operations, and drive long-term growth.

I am a transformational HR executive with over 25 years leading enterprise HR transformation across healthcare, government, engineering, and private-equity growth companies. I rebuild HR infrastructure, redesign compensation and job architecture, implement HRIS platforms, and guide M&A and organizational separation to reduce operational risk and enable growth.

I have led statewide HR modernization, global HR structures for international projects, and multi-site integrations—stabilizing operations, improving leadership capability, and reducing turnover through workforce planning, executive advising, and data-driven HR systems.
