About Leonardo C. Dgives
Senior Human Resources executive with a proven track record leading people strategy across multinational, Private Equity–backed, and complex operational environments, including both union and non-union workforces. I bring a deeply operational mindset, partnering with executive leadership to align talent, labor strategy, and organizational capability with business growth, performance, and enterprise value creation.My experience spans multi-site and multi-shift operations within the consumer goods and manufacturing sectors, where I have led full-scope HR functions including labor relations, workforce planning, talent acquisition, total rewards, payroll, benefits, compliance, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness. I am recognized for building disciplined HR infrastructure, strengthening labor stability, and driving execution in highly regulated, performance-driven environments.Having worked within global organizations and Private Equity portfolios, I am comfortable operating at the intersection of strategy and execution, supporting transformation initiatives, organizational redesign, and scalable HR models while maintaining strong governance and risk management. I bring credibility in union settings through contract administration, grievance and arbitration management, and constructive labor-management engagement, while also driving high-performance cultures across non-union teams.I hold multiple advanced degrees in Human Resources Management and Strategic Leadership and am known for my ability to translate complex workforce challenges into practical, results-oriented solutions. My leadership approach is collaborative, data-driven, and focused on building capable teams that deliver sustained results, experience that is highly transferable to Fortune 500 and Private Equity–backed organizations.
