People Operations...human resources...people and talent...culture experience and change. Call it what you want - but at the end of the day, People and Talent Operations is a strategic partner to the business - the connective tissue of a company that is instrumental in shaping and influencing results for leaders, stakeholders and employees. Powerful people and talent work is about having a business POV and the ability to connect that to what people do every day. It's about how to help each person become the best version of themselves and, thus, the company the best version of itself. It is business focus through the people lens and delivering programs that enable and empower people to do amazing things. This desire to take the gift of every day and the opportunity to connect with others and help them be their shiniest, best version is what drives me personally and professionally. Through these connections, I become a better me through learning from them. I made an intentional move from business leadership into people operations leadership because of my interest in solving problems, creating exceptional experiences and enabling people to do and be their best. Connecting people with purpose and watching them energize and engage is super-rewarding. I am data-driven, enterprise-minded and people-hearted. I influence directly and through others and bring results in ethical, dependable, meaningful and accountable ways. I am a change agent, through and through, and live to see positive evolution and the impact it can have. I believe that HR leadership is equal parts traditional HR (benefits, compliance, policy and employee relations) and equal parts talent, OD and culture - and I love to impact all of it.
