   Aug 2023 — Present

   While at Tandem, I moved through roles of increasing responsibility, receiving several promotions for leadership, strategic approach, and continuous improvement mindset. I lead the entire HR function including a team of 30 with 4 direct reports, as well as oversee all aspects of Facilities, Safety, and Real Estate consisting of 12 members and 2 direct reports. I consistently partner with Board of Directors, Compensation Committees, and senior leadership to develop and implement strategies for organizational improvement. A few of my key accomplishments as SVP include: • Spearheaded the COVID-19 response efforts by designing processes that ensured operational effectiveness and production excellence while addressing the increase in demand. Also leading the effort to return to offices following the pandemic. • Formulated and launched the employee communication strategy during the pandemic with a key focus on mobilizing a remote work option, as well as a commitment to transparency and flexibility. • Improved employee satisfaction and enhanced workforce benefit options by advocating for and implementing a 401(k) plan with company match. • Led the effort to consolidate 5 buildings into one by securing a corporate campus (185K sq ft campus) in San Diego. Negotiated the lease and will oversee the construction, transition, and ongoing management of the new building.
