About Tom Foley

Colleagues at top companies (Apple, Gap, Target and more) say I solve problems as a team leader and bridge-builder, creative innovator and brand ambassador. My natural ability to anticipate scenarios and plan ahead makes me a valued mentor and an agile decision-maker. I identify patterns, design systems, and develop processes to ensure that data shows our growth potential while driving scalable, repeatable success. As an example, I developed an innovative employee annual review and goals system (not based on traditional trickle-down thinking) to clearly define the professionals they want to become, what areas need attention, and the daily action steps to get there. My top 5 strengths: Futuristic: Creates aspirational goals with a dynamic system to help my team envision a brighter future with tangible micro-steps toward desired outcomes Ideation: Expands and challenges others’ thinkingIndividualization: Creates systems and frameworks for adopting belonging across various scenarios: we can see what makes each individual unique, to know how to bring out their best Strategic: Fosters fruitful, win-win negotiations through keen intuition and communicationCommand: Leads with agility and confidence to take control of situations and makes thoughtful decisions for the best interests of the team.Let’s connect for virtual coffee!Keywords: HR, supplier diversity, diversity, inclusion, belonging, team-building, procurement, project management, team leader, risk management, strategy, transformation roadmap, purchasing, supply chain, employee engagement.
