1. HR Business Partner People Consultant Manager

   Google

   Jul 2017 — Present · CA

   People Operations strives to revolutionize human resources the same way that Google has revolutionized search. We are helping to find, grow and keep the remarkable assemblage of talent who make up Google. As a part of this team, I am a champion of Google\'s culture and values, partnering with business leaders to help them build departments and make sure all people decisions are based on data. Whether coaching clients on how to lead teams, navigating and resolving employee relations issues or managing programs that help develop Googlers, I am exceptionally focused on putting them first, and being as clear and transparent as possible to help Googlers understand how people decisions get made. People Consultant Manager | July 2018 present As a People Consultant (HRBP) Manager, I lead a team of 10+ People Consultants in providing best-in-class support to Googlers. I am a thought partner to my team members, the HRBP leadership, and various clients on a wide range of topics including coaching on team dynamics, performance management, program/project management, and more. It’s my role to help create the end-to-end PeopleOps support for Googlers and managers to grow, develop, and thrive. This requires me to think big, use data to guide my work, be comfortable challenging convention, and in some cases reinvent how work is done. I partner with multiple PeopleOps teams to ensure a seamless, wonderful support offering to everyone in Google - Googlers, managers, leaders. I am also hands-on, working side by side with People Consultants to get things done on a variety of people-related areas. As a core part of this hands-on work, I help support Googlers and People Partners navigate and resolve issues, in addition to rolling out programs to support Googlers - including compensation, performance and talent programs. And of course, I model our goal of every Googler having a Great Manager by being one myself.
