   Jul 2013 — Present · New York, NY, US

   As Director of HR, I oversee the full spectrum of human resources operations across North America and Australia, ensuring alignment between HR initiatives and business goals. I lead workforce planning efforts by leveraging HR analytics to forecast talent needs, optimize headcount, and implement succession planning strategies. My role involves designing and managing compensation structures, benefits programs, and performance management systems to enhance employee retention and engagement. Additionally, I spearhead HRIS optimizations in Workday, streamlining payroll processes and improving workforce data accuracy for compliance and decision-making. I work closely with executive leadership to advise on employment law, risk management, and compliance while also driving organizational change initiatives, including restructuring efforts, cultural transformations, and business expansion. Through strategic policy development and compliance training, I foster a legally sound and employee-centric workplace that supports both organizational objectives and employee success.
