About Ardine Williams

I trade a day of my life for every day I come to work, and the math works—by and large, I come out ahead. My experience is broad and the unifying theme is clear: I build innovative teams that move mountains, teams that are motivated by challenge and possibilities, and teams that come to work to win and have fun. With several successful international assignments under my belt, I am truly a global leader; I know how to build community across cultures. I’ve worked in English, Spanish, German and Hebrew and am fluent in finance, the lingua franca of business. As a result, cash flows map the roads I\'ve traveled: re-engineering and scaling business operations, organization design, building strategic organizational capabilities and enabling systems, product marketing, venture capital, start up consulting, acquisition integration, divestiture stand-up and developing human resource strategies. Adept at charting the path from strategy to action, I am relentlessly curious about cause and effect and have an insatiable appetite for learning that fuels my imagination and my passion for delivering business value.Compensation | Workforce Planning | M&A | Due Diligence & Integration | Succession Planning Executive Compensation | Leadership Development | Business Planning & Large-scale Transformation | Talent Strategy & Acquisition | Benefits |Change Management | Total Rewards & Benefits | Employee Labor Relations | Expatriate Management | Performance Coaching & Management | People Strategies | Global Human Resources
