I am a committed business partner who aligns HR strategy with corporate vision to achieve organizational objectives. Achieving excellence requires laser-sharp strategic planning in all areas of HR—from payroll and compensation structures to internal development programs to talent acquisition. To that end, I strive to motivate employees through targeted leadership and development opportunities and merit-based systems—many of them within complex international environments. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led HR teams—in partnership with C-level management—in industries that span biotech, film entertainment, gaming and telecommunications. Regardless of the business, a constant in my career has been to build high caliber, enthusiastic teams and set them on a path to leadership. A few initiatives that helped me achieve that... LEADERSHIP & TALENT PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT ►Reinforced bench strength through intensive, yearlong training programs that challenge participants to solve real and current business issues. ►Partnered with consumer product leadership to identify team challenges and create a plan to address them. The result: several ideas from the team for new products and internal process improvements. ►Deployed tools such as 360 and style assessments in a 6-month program that elevated executives’ self-awareness and helped pinpoint areas for development. ►Introduced succession planning process that led to a reduction in fill time from 60 days to under 40. STRATEGIC GLOBAL COMPENSATION & BENEFIT PROGRAMS ►Built global systems from the ground up by conducting deep analyses of merit increase guidelines, cost of living, and payroll grades to tailor compensation to fit the local economic conditions of each office. ►Introduced commission programs that fueled additional revenue streams for newly created businesses in Argentina, Miami, Mexico and Brazil, and exceeded expectations by achieving 3-year profit goals in under 1 year. ►Launched initiatives such as a bonus program for the Singapore office and an ESOP-style program that improved retention in India.
