As an experienced talent acquisition and development leader across multiple industries, I have a proven track record of improving company culture and employee performance. With expertise in setting processes, metrics, tools, and direction to optimize team output and minimize hiring costs, I excel at shaping cultures, driving mission, and influencing the positive engagement of talent.
My most recent role as Director of Talent Management at Aspiration saw me build and lead a Talent Acquisition team to facilitate expansive growth, hiring 250 employees in one year. I developed recruiting best practices and processes, which led to an average of 30 interviews per week, 20 hires per month, and a 30-day time to fill with a team of six recruiters. Additionally, I designed and implemented a new performance management methodology, spearheaded a manager training program, and led the development of transformational new hire onboarding and “Sustainability 101” training programs. As Manager of Talent Management at Infarm, I was responsible for building a US HR function, hiring, and training a team of five recruiters as the company scaled operations. I designed, built, and rolled out an onsite training program for warehouse workers, enhancing internal culture through the development of employee listening groups and employee-centered sub-groups.
During my time as Senior Manager of Organizational Development at TrueCar, Inc., I built an inaugural organizational development function, developing a team of four to own, build, and improve company-wide communications, employee experience & learning, and development programs. I strategically and successfully managed organizational change through an evolving and ambiguous environment, creating a culture where employees felt informed, heard, connected, and safe. I also served as a strategic advisor to the executive team on internal executive communications and employee feedback tools, enhanced employee engagement and experience, and led learning and development platforms, including manager training and onboarding of new employees.
In addition to these roles, I have experience leading cross-functional workgroups focused on strategic initiatives, facilitating the transition to “work from home,” and sourcing and implementing various people tools focused on employees’ personal and professional growth, wellness, and connection. With my breadth of experience and expertise in talent acquisition and development, I am well-positioned to provide executive coaching services to help leaders optimize team output, minimize hiring costs, and shape cultures that drive mission and positive engagement of talent.
