People matter — and so do results. As Chief Administrative Officer of Northern Trust and a member of the Management Group, I oversee Human Resources, Workplace Services, Security, Social Impact and Strategic Planning, with a focus on building a well‑run, resilient organization that enables sustainable growth. My role centers on attracting, engaging, developing, and rewarding talent, while also ensuring the environments and systems in which our partners work are safe, effective, and aligned with our strategy. I know I’m successful when partners feel supported in navigating their careers and lives with purpose — because that support drives stronger performance and better outcomes for our clients and communities. No matter the challenge or opportunity, I believe in making data‑informed decisions and working collaboratively to find practical, innovative paths forward.In addition to my work at Northern Trust, I’m proud to be a champion for health equity as a trustee on the Rush University Medical Center Human Capital Compensation Committee, as well as advocate for empowering women to lead through The Chicago Network. Specialties: Business/project management, business controls, financial planning, performance management, employee engagement, compensation, employee relations, recruitment, process excellence, organization design/optimization, diversity equity and inclusion.
