Work Background

Opus HR SolutionsHuman Resources Practice Consultant

Jul. 2024Freeland, Washington, United StatesThroughout my career, I have been involved in various aspects of human resources, including talent recruitment and transforming company culture. I am passionate about building functions from the ground up and creating positive workplaces. I have experience managing global acquisitions and implementing programs that help employees navigate transitions and companies retain those employees. For example as the Vice President of Human Resources, I facilitated the acquisition of a technology start-up, Virbela, and grew the tech start-up staff by 85% in two and a half years by creating successful HR strategies and company-specific HR practices. If you're looking for a highly motivated HR professional with diverse experience, I'd love to discuss how I can help positively influence company culture and retain your valuable employees.
