Bio

After more than 24 years of deep experience driving change and evolving people, culture, and digital HR solutions, I’m thrilled to return to my human capital consulting roots and am now focused on helping KPMG clients reimagine their talent, organizational, and digital strategies. I also focus on HR transformation for KPMG's Life Sciences clients. Honored to have served as HR’s National Managing Partner from 2017-2022, I helped shape KPMG’s people strategy that evolved Talent & Succession, Learning, Shared Services, Field/Functional HR, Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Data & Analytics, and Digital Technology. Equally, I oversaw the implementation of multiple new HCM/HR systems, policies, and delivery models that have helped to optimize processes and improve experience for partners, employees, and the Talent & Culture team in the US and the Americas. Previously, I led global HR transformations at Raytheon for 5 years and at IBM for 13 years in the areas of performance, compensation, recognition, benefits, learning, leadership, talent, data & analytics, mergers & acquisitions, and digital technology. Prior to my MBA. I led retail operations for Hannaford, CVS, and OfficeMax for 9 years. I've also had the privilege to serve on several KPMG leadership committees and steering groups, I’m currently a HR Advisor to SemperVirens’s ecosystem of HR technology start-ups and Venture Capital financiers, and I serve on the board of Universal Promise—a nonprofit organization that provides individuals and institutions in underserved regions of South Africa with academic and educational resources. Happy to be a proud sports parent, mentor to many, protege advocate, saltwater fishing enthusiast, musician/audiophile, home remodeling self-solutioner, softball assistant coach, HOA President and board member, and supporter of our local middle school parent teacher organization.
