About

I make HR run like a reliable service, not a mystery.

I have spent my career listening for the same pain point in every organization, employees and leaders want answers fast, and they want them to be right. When HR operations are unclear, people lose trust, managers waste time, and risk quietly piles up. I build the systems, governance, and habits that make support feel seamless, even during change.

I focus on outcomes you can feel quickly, faster hiring, steadier staffing, and fewer surprises. I have reduced attrition by 5% (about $1M in savings) and improved retention of medical support staff by 7% (over $1M), using practical analytics and leader actions that actually stick.

I also sweat the operational details that keep leaders out of trouble. I have led quarterly compliance audits across Payroll, HRIS, and Benefits, and I have modernized processes like bonus communications from 2 weeks down to under 1 day by driving the design and implementation.

And when the organization changes, I help HR stay the calm center. I have served as the HR lead for multiple M\&As across a payer, hospital, and DME environments, building repeatable integration playbooks that align policy, process, and culture without slowing the business down.

If you know a VP of HR Ops, Head of HR Transformation, or M&A Integration leader who is rebuilding HR service delivery, I would value a warm intro. If sharing this helps it reach the right operator, a LinkedIn repost with one line of context is a huge assist.

Target roles: Director, HR Operations, HR Project Manager, HR M&A Lead
