ABOUT CHRIS EDMONDS-WATERS
Welcome to my LinkedIn profile!I am a highly accomplished and results-driven bi-lingual (i.e, Spanish fluency!) Senior Human Resources Strategist and Operator with over 20 years of experience. I\'m currently pivoting from a career in Financial Services to other industries-including non-profits. Throughout my career, I have consistently met corporate objectives by developing and implementing robust HR strategies and cost effective structures, providing strategic HR guidance, and demonstrating exceptional executive leadership. I have a proven track record of driving organizational growth, optimizing talent management, and fostering a high-performance culture. By leveraging my solid expertise in human resources strategy, DEI, and world-class employee engagement, I am able to unlock the full potential of organizations and the people working in them. Essentially, I get the right stuff done through collaborating seamlessly, developing strong cross-functional teams -and role modeling an \'organization-first\' stance. I am widely recognized for delivering innovative HR solutions, driving transformative change and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, where every individual can thrive and contribute their best. My purpose is in optimizing the potential of organizations and the people working in them. I absolutely believe in the power of self-actualization, that employees should seek it- and that organizations have a role to play in manifesting it. If you are seeking a seasoned HR strategist, operator, and change agent who can drive remarkable results, I invite you to connect with me. Let\'s collaborate to achieve excellence and unlock the true potential of you and your organization.
