Chief Human Resources Officer
United States
Leadership, they say, is getting people to go somewhere they normally wouldn't have gone on their own. As I have grown professionally and personally, I have certainly realized leadership is more than a title. It's a privilege and yet such a unique challenge. What type of a leader are you? Being a great leader also takes intention. Understanding your leadership philosophy is a great asset in being intentional.
My desire as a leader is to stay true to my values. Being authentic - staying real - treating people with dignity and respect - support - pushing - being vulnerable - integrity - coaching - addressing conflict - sharing the spot light - being a buffer. Remembering at the end of the day - we are all people and each one of us has something good. As a leader, how to do you inspire everyone when no one person you work with is the same?
As a leader, I have partnered with senior executives helping them develop and execute their people strategy that ultimately drives their business strategy. My experience includes demonstrating leadership and functional capabilities in all aspect of Human Resources. My strong collaboration skills along with my ability to operating both at a strategy and execution perspective allows me to balance getting work done that focuses on outcomes.
My leadership and impact has been recognized by Top Diversity Executives, Illinois Diversity Council - Power 50 Award, and National Diversity Council - Top Talent Executive.
