What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to drive HR strategy, foster talent, and enhance employee engagement in a dynamic organization.

I am an accomplished and results-driven Vice President of Human Resources with a strong track record of driving strategic HR initiatives that foster organizational growth and success. My experience includes leading high-performing HR teams to deliver innovative talent management, employee relations, and organizational development solutions. I am a visionary leader passionate about fostering talent, driving change, and enhancing employee engagement.

In my current role as Senior Director of HR at John Bean Technologies, I am a key member of the division leadership team, focused on talent management, employee engagement, and leadership development initiatives. I spearhead the development of talent strategies and collaborate with division leaders to attract and retain staff across multiple facilities. My efforts have significantly contributed to the division's growth and success.

Previously, I served as Vice President of Human Resources and Safety at New World Van Lines, where I oversaw all HR and safety functions and managed a team of nine staff. I developed and communicated policies that aligned with business goals, resulting in improved retention and reduced turnover. My commitment to enhancing employee engagement and morale has consistently driven positive outcomes in every organization I have been a part of.
