About Ashley Ashley Kenyon Lynch
Leadership is an action, not a position.” — Donald McGannonRetail has been woven into the fabric of my life from the very beginning. It all started in my grandmother’s self-owned clothing boutique, where I spent some of my most cherished childhood moments traveling to different cities, helping select the next season’s styles. For my tenth birthday, I asked for one thing: to work in the store. When she said yes, I was overjoyed, I knew then that this was more than a passion. It was a calling.Over the years, I’ve built a career rooted in that same enthusiasm and drive. My experience spans sales, customer service, operations, facility management, talent acquisition and leadership roles at the store, district, regional and enterprise levels. No matter the task, I approach it with dedication, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence.Today, I’m proud to be part of a company that values its people as deeply as I do. I aspire to continue growing within this organization, contributing not just through performance, but through leadership that inspires, empowers, and uplifts.
Experience
Vice President of Talent Acquisition
May 2024 — Present
As Enterprise VP of Talent Acquisition, I lead with vision, strategy, and a deep commitment to building scalable, people-centered systems that drive performance and long-term growth. Over the past 14 months, I’ve transformed a fragmented TA structure into a unified, efficient, and future-ready enterprise function. Key accomplishments include- Standardization & Efficiency: Unified processes and materials across the organization—eliminating silos and increasing consistency through the creation of interview guides, job post templates, welcome packets, onboarding workflows, site visit guides, and a centralized Talent Toolbox for easy access and alignment - Strategic Enablement: Developed a wage validation dashboard and site identification tools to support strategic sales bids, HR planning, and market research—ensuring data-driven decisions and consistency across bidding processes - Technology & Automation: Introduced new technologies to automate workflows, reduce time-to-fill, and improve early-day retention—building a strong foundation for long-term employee engagement through enhanced onboarding and early touchpoints - Talent Development: Invested in internal talent by identifying individual goals and strengths, then creating personalized development pathways to support career growth and leadership readiness - Operational Impact: Reduced key performance indicators and overall costs across the TA function, laying the groundwork for continued efficiency and scalability With the foundation now firmly in place, my focus is on deepening our impact—leveraging data, technology, and human insight to build a resilient, high-performing talent ecosystem that supports every corner of the business.
