About Thomas Shaffer

I’m a business-focused CHRO who drives transformation, builds scalable organizations, and aligns culture with strategy to deliver measurable results.Currently at Spray Products, I’m leading an enterprise-wide transformation to strengthen operational excellence and accelerate growth — including a 5-year plan to 5x EBITDA. Reduced turnover by 200%, implemented KPI accountability across all levels, and saved $500K annually by bringing recruiting in-house.Previously, I served as CHRO at Step2 Discovery, a $500M private equity portfolio company. I helped restore profitability within six months, top-grade senior leadership, consolidate facilities for $15M in annual savings, and launch the company’s first engagement survey to drive culture change.Earlier, I led HR for the Americas at Trivium Packaging, a $3B global manufacturer, and before the merger, served as VP of HR at Exal Corporation, guiding its growth to over $500M in revenue, leading global HR strategy, driving a 140% share value increase, and executing successful M&A integration.I’m passionate about building high-performance teams, simplifying complexity, and helping businesses unlock value through people.CONTACT: E-Mail: t••••••••@gmail.com Phone:(72••••••81
