@stephaniebonnet
I’m a transformational CHRO who modernizes People Operations, HR systems, and analytics to scale global teams fast.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a transformational Chief Human Resources Officer with 15+ years of experience building, scaling, and modernizing People Operations in high-growth, AI-adjacent, SaaS, tech infrastructure, and regulated environments. I’m repeatedly recruited to take HR from non-existent or fragmented to a globally scaled, trusted executive operating partner serving thousands of employees across multiple countries. My focus is designing enterprise People operating models, building high-performing HR teams, and embedding data, automation, and AI-enabled tools across the employee lifecycle.
Most recently at iXsystems, I rebuilt a fragmented, high-risk People and Operations function in under six months, stabilized and re-architected failing HR systems, and implemented enterprise HRIS and Payroll systems—eliminating payroll inaccuracies and achieving sustained zero-error processing. I reduced average time-to-fill from 168 days to 29 days (-83%), drove $250K+ in annual benefits savings by partnering with Finance, improved retention and reduced regrettable attrition by 63%, and launched People analytics and executive dashboards for workforce planning and decision-making. Previously at Measurabl, I helped build greenfield-to-enterprise People Operations and IT capabilities, enabling 175% international headcount growth in 12 months, achieving 93% engagement, reducing overall turnover by 68%, and cutting external recruiting spend by $120K per quarter.
