Jody Cahill

Hands-on, people-centered, trusted leader who has spent over 20 years aligning the culture, talent, and operations to support thriving organizations during high growth and changing times. Whether navigating mergers, scaling teams, or modernizing how work gets done, I lead with empathy, integrity, and a drive to build strong, high-performing teams. My passion? Creating workplaces where people feel valued and supported—because when people flourish, businesses succeed. I am an HR & Operations strategic partner with the C-Suite & management teams. I have focused on leadership development, operational effectiveness, organizational planning, change management, and corporate communications. I thoroughly enjoy creating efficiencies and driving enhanced productivity. In other words, I like to get stuff done on time, on budget, and on strategy. If there isn’t a clear path, I’ll find one. I have project and workflow management, resource management, technology integration, and facilities management experience. I also played an integral role during the early years of Sandbox's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) hyper-growth stage. As the SVP, Head of HR & Operations at Sandbox, I was a leader on the integrations team where we brought 6 different agencies together as one agency, as well as leading the implementation of ADP for payroll and Greenhouse, an applicant tracking system (ATS). I have gained valuable experience in human resources leadership, talent management, coaching, career development, talent integration, recruiting, talent acquisition, onboarding & offboarding, training & development, workforce planning, diversity & inclusion, employee engagement, career development, training facilitation, employee programs & processes development, employee relations, employee retention, culture contributor, internal champion, benefits & compensation, legal/regulatory understanding, and policy guidance. I strive to be a morale builder, innovator, progressive thinker, self-starter, decisive, collaborator, connector, relationship builder, adaptable, and discreet with strong communication skills. I received my SHRM-CP in July 2016.
