I specialize in designing and executing full employee lifecycle programs—spanning recruitment, performance management, compensation, compliance, and DEI.Most recently, I built the People function from scratch at Crumdale Partners, partnering with the executive team to align HR strategies with business growth. I’ve led multiple HR tech implementations, coached leadership teams, supported M&A integrations, and developed performance and compensation frameworks that support engagement and retention.My experience spans HRIS platforms (Paylocity, Paychex, iSolved), ATS systems (Workable), payroll/benefits tools (Allied, Beneacon), and learning systems (Docebo), among others.
