United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a People Compliance and HR Risk leader with 12+ years designing and scaling compliance programs in complex, multi-entity environments. I translate evolving employment regulations into practical operating processes that strengthen governance and audit readiness.
Across my roles at Interpublic Group, I’ve led enterprise-wide People Compliance initiatives, including EEO/AA, OFCCP audits, pay equity reporting, and regulatory submissions. I assess regulatory risks, advise Legal and HR leadership, and build scalable reporting frameworks for EEO-1, Pay Data, and VETS.
My focus is measurable compliance outcomes through workforce analytics and data integrity. I improved workforce data integrity across 14 entities, reduced discrepancies by 30%, cut manual error rates by 25%, and resolved 95% of HRIS data migration gaps to restore critical compliance records.
I partner closely with Legal, HR, and executive stakeholders to align policies, systems, and training to regulatory requirements. I also support DEI outcomes through People Analytics dashboards, manage global employee survey programs, and lead accessibility and accommodation initiatives—including enterprise-wide disability inclusion frameworks.
