I am a former head of talent strategies and Big 4 management consulting firm executive with a rich history of bringing creative solutions and an entrepreneurial approach to elevating companies’ global talent practices. I have successfully quantified the value talent brings to organizations and led strategies that resulted in “Best Places To Work” designations for my clients.

Some of the amazing companies I have worked with over my 19-year career range from giants like Accenture, Apple, BASF, Capital One, Cisco, Comcast, Edelman, McDonald’s, Mercedes-Benz, UNIQLO, Walgreens, and Walmart to small but mighty organizations like Grubhub, IDEO, Arity (an Allstate tech spin off), The Mom Project, Farmer's Fridge, and the NBA’s Orlando Magic.

Today, I am leading a movement that aims to make organizations more people-centric through the power of design thinking. Intrigued? Learn more: https://www.talentimperative.com/
