Sr. HR Business Partner

Quantcast

I work collaboratively with the business, building relationships throughout the organization, coaching and advising managers from front line to C-Suite. A pragmatic problem-solver, I seek resolution aligned with stakeholder and business needs. I work closely with others on the People team and with my client groups (Commercial, G&A, ENG) for core people processes (e.g. annual review, calibrations, performance mgmt, etc). I also partner with L&D to design and/or deliver in-house training, predominantly focused on manager development. I coach and advise managers on performance-related matters and work closely with Legal and CHRO for employee relations. When evaluating a policy, procedure, communication, project, or decision, I think through how this will impact the employee experience, culture, and desired outcome.

HR Business Partner

I've returned back to my practitioner roots and am an HRBP at a global advertising tech company (AdTech).

Associate HR Business Partner

HR.com

With the acquisition of NCHRA, I transitioned to a role on the leadership team, reporting to the CEO. I built a new department and led a global product team, created to serve the HR community via educational programming. My primary focus was building a high-trust and productive team, harmonizing product offerings, building the infrastructure to market and sell educational products, overseeing go-to-market strategies, and managing partner relationships. I also worked closely with the leadership team to effectively integrate NCHRA staff.

Vice President, Education Services

Next Concept HR Association (NCHRA)

I re-entered the workforce as a volunteer for NCHRA (Northern California HR Association), a membership non-profit serving HR professionals, and soon became a manager responsible for our educational programming, securing 75% of organizational revenue. This was my first foray as a Professional Development SME producing 100+ educational offerings annually. This role allowed me to combine my passions – HR, professional development, and relationship building. I produced themed learning experiences for Women’s Leadership and Young Professionals, as well as core educational programs our community desired centered on Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, Employee Experience, Communication, and Relationship Management. I led our marquee event, HR West, a 3-day annual conference, with an eye on the speaker, vendor, and attendee experience. 

I had direct experience peering into the life of the CEO, serving as interim CEO during a leadership transition as well as leading the company through an acquisition.

Vice President Professional Development

I made a conscious decision to join the unpaid workforce of stay-at-home-moms. Became a youth soccer coach, ran the Boston Marathon, volunteered in the classroom, and planned events for young ones that brought joy to our lives. I explored teaching, developed a business plan for a bed & breakfast, and ultimately invested in and managed a vacation property. While my world-view expanded during my time overseas, during this period my community awareness grew immensely. I navigated many ‘firsts’ (mine and my children’s) and I am grateful for this period of personal growth.

Momma Bear & Explorer

Progressive People career expanding globally over 10 years.  I learned HR while at Salomon Brothers, a top investment banking firm in Manhattan. I led a team responsible for retirement plan administration, developed new processes to help employees better understand their retirement portfolio, and was a member of the corporate team responsible for the conversion of numerous 401(k) and pension plans to a new record keeper. 

Relocated to London, where I managed the Health & Welfare dept, designed and implemented new benefit programs and partnered with colleagues to review, select, and implement a new medical provider, resulting in significant savings for the Firm. 

Upon return to the States, I was tapped to design, implement, and manage new employee onboarding and orientation. In addition to ensuring a positive initial employee experience, I partnered with department heads across the business to ensure their needs and goals were represented in the program.
