Chief People Officer
United States
With over 25 years’ experience as an international HR and transformational change leader, I am committed to building high-performing teams and cultures across industries. Helping employees at all levels to do, be, and feel their best is central to my philosophy as a Chief People Officer. I am known as a strong communicator and collaborator with the ability to shape an organization’s vision and oversee the execution of strategy while fearlessly challenging the status quo, building cases for change, and bringing people along on the journey to achieve tangible results.
Executive Summary:
- Build, transform, and scale people functions in complex, matrixed environments.
- Innovate and embrace future-focused practices to elevate career experiences.
- Deliver impactful DEIB programs for international, culturally-complex organizations.
- For profit and nonprofit executive leadership and board member.
Sampling of Achievements:
- As CPO and Board Trustee at Fishawack Health, I led the formation of a high-performing international HR team that eliminated the UK gender pay gap, cut voluntary attrition in half in one year, consolidated seven 401k plans into one, and achieved an 88% favorable D&I index (Culture Amp metric).
- As the VP of HR at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, I initiated the first IDEA program which included designing and securing funding for a paid internship program to open opportunities in the arts to underrepresented groups.
- In 2014, I received my M.A. in Public Policy from the University of Chicago during an energizing and educational mid-career break, an experience I highly recommend!
- As the Global Managing Director of Talent Management at Accenture, I led the expansion of the Accenture Alumni Network enhancing the global brand and normalizing post-Accenture career pathing.
- As a member of Accenture’s Management Consulting practice, I contributed to emerging change management methodologies and the launch of “Change Management” as a consulting service line.
- Early in my career, I was featured in a Fortune Magazine article spotlighting top talent under 30.
I am enjoying the next chapter of my career as Tides' CPO with opportunities to coach, lead change, deliver results, and help colleagues at all levels to thrive in the workplace.
