View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
After more than 25 years of building a career in People leadership, I've learned that the most important part of any business is its people. Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of serving as a strategic partner to executive teams, guiding organizations through transformation, and helping leaders unlock both personal and business growth. Today, as Chief People Officer, I lead People Services across HR, Talent Development & Training, Organizational Development, Corporate Communications and Franchisee Relations. My focus is on creating cultures where people can thrive, scale and contribute--while ensuring the business delivers strong results. Outside of work, I'm a lifelong learner, a proud wife & mom, and someone who believes in making every experience meaningful--whether at work, in the community, or with family.
