Chief People Officer
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
As a Human Resources and people partnerships executive, I have been described as analytical, customer-focused, and process-driven. I specialize in establishing, streamlining, and enhancing workforce management and people projects to overcome long-term inefficiencies, improve diversity and inclusion programs, and increase employee satisfaction.
I’m passionate about creating open, diverse, transparent, and inclusive workplaces where people thrive and love coming to work.
I spent my early career at a global Fortune 100 retailer, where as a member of the team that established an internal global sourcing division I led global human resources practices including recruiting, onboarding, leadership development and organizational design. Later I took on a corporate leadership role where I designed global women’s strategy initiatives and led a cross-functional team in the successful delivery of the inaugural Global Women’s Forum, in direct partnership with the CIO, CHRO, and CEO of the retailer.
If you catch me outside of work, I'm probably hanging out with my three boys, reading a good murder mystery, or taking a nice long walk.
