About Danielle Grimley

I’m an HR leader working at the intersection of people, performance, and change.From Nasdaq to large-scale field operations at 24 Hour Fitness, I’ve partnered with senior leaders on M&A integrations, organizational transformation, and growth at scale. I thrive in building trust quickly, simplifying complexity, and helping leaders make clear, effective people decisions during moments that matter most.My work spans talent strategy, culture, change management, and leadership development, with a strong emphasis on execution and outcomes. Maximizing talent — particularly through periods of transition — is always the priority.Fitness is a core part of who I am. I work in the industry, live the lifestyle, and bring a performance-oriented, well-being-first perspective to leadership and organizational design.I enjoy connecting with operators, founders, and executive teams who are focused on building resilient organizations, developing leaders, and scaling thoughtfully — and I welcome conversations with leaders and professionals who are exploring new opportunities or thinking through their next chapter.Expertise:Global Talent ManagerHuman Resources DirectorHuman Capital ConsultantHead of Employee ExperienceTalent StrategyEmployee CultureWorkforce PlannerHead of PeopleCulture Curator Talent Strategist People Operations
