I'm passionate about helping businesses find success through the growth, empowerment and retention of their best assets...their people! My approach creates a culture of growth and paths for development within organizations. The result is real business impact that maximizes the effectiveness of its best people and their knowledge of its customers. I believe in HR as true strategic partner to the business that creates organizational connective tissue. These connections create a culture of people support that is transparent, open, and flexible that creates an employee experience that attracts and grows the best and brightest talent. While VP, People at Serenova, my team and I cultivated a culture that attracts, retains, and nurtures people. We focused on many contributing factors, including career growth and development, competitive compensation and benefits, and empowerment of individuals. In people experience leadership roles over the past decade, including VP, People at Serenova, VP, Human Resources at uShip.com and Director of HR at frog design, I have led initiatives to enable internal career growth for employees and thus knowledge and skills retention for organizations.
