About Michael Gill
I’m a systems‑focused project leader who thrives at the intersection of operations, technology, and human-centered design. Across my career — spanning nonprofit operations, HR systems, shared services, administration, and process improvement — I’ve been driven by one core goal: helping organizations strengthen their communities and leave the world better than we found it.My work blends project management, data translation, change enablement, and cross‑functional collaboration to build scalable solutions that make people’s jobs easier. Whether leading HCM and payroll implementations, improving workflows, or guiding teams through complex transitions, I focus on clarity, equity, and long‑term sustainability.I believe well-designed systems have the power to transform how mission‑driven organizations operate. When teams have the right tools, data, and processes, they’re able to spend more time on what truly matters — serving people, supporting communities, and advancing their mission.The views expressed on my profile are my own and do not represent those of my employer.
Experience

Following Creative Planning’s acquisition of YESS, I continue to lead HR Services implementation projects within YESS (Powered by Creative Planning). I manage end‑to‑end HCM and payroll initiatives with a strong focus on project management, data translation and transformation, change enablement, and client communications. Building on my previous work leading Implementations, I ensure smooth, accurate, and efficient transitions for the organizations we support.
