View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
As an experienced international HR leader, my strengths lie in building high-performing teams, providing talent and business insights that drive successful outcomes, applying critical thinking and good judgment to complex situations, and spearheading change management plans to drive culture transformation. I have developed organization and people plans for billion-dollar+ global business units, partnered with and coached senior leaders in turnaround situations, created innovative leadership development solutions, and driven enterprise level talent management initiatives. Beyond this, I have built a reputation as a straight talker with a transparent leadership style. I am dedicated to helping people be the best they can be...either as individuals, or as leadership teams. This goal applies to everything I do, whether I am creating strategies to achieve business results, working with senior leaders, or developing successful programs.
