I am an entrepreneurial and start-up tested HR professional with the mindset of an engineer and a passion for building things from scratch, doing more with less, leveraging technology, making data based recommendations, mitigating risks, and retaining talent; but more importantly, I am a business partner first. Having been part of multiple successful start-ups has given me opportunities to wear many different hats in business operations, in addition to HR. I have been involved in a number of events throughout the business life cycle, including: entity formation, financing rounds, corporate governance, contract review, vendor evaluation / negotiation, audits, due diligence exercises, business development / relationship management, compliance initiatives, and exits via merger and/or acquisition. Focus Areas: HR and Business Operations; HR Technology; HR Infrastructure Design & Implementation; Policy Development; Employee Relations; Employment Law; Compliance; Risk Mitigation; Talent Metrics / Analytics; Performance Management; Mergers & Acquisitions; Corporate Development; Start-Ups
