Summary
HELPING LEADERS ACHIEVE THEIR GREATEST POTENTIAL Deep Expertise in Leadership, Organization & Talent Development As a business-oriented, results-focused senior human resources executive with a 20+-year track record in leading critical U.S. and global initiatives, I have been instrumental in supporting the success of diverse global client organizations, including Consulting, Product Development, Sales and Services, Legal, Corporate Development and Government Affairs. One of the key areas of focus and passion for me is to serve as a trusted strategic business partner to leaders and executive staff, and provide coaching and insightful guidance that has repeatedly yielded transformational results. By helping leaders to clarify and define their business priorities and vision, establish a sound strategy and organization design, and then develop the critical people management skills needed to achieve these goals, I have witnessed remarkable turnarounds, and it is this aspect and level of impact in what I do that inspires and drives me every day.
