Orchestrating groundbreaking solutions for the global workforce has been critical to Verizon's success amidst a competitive marketplace, which in turn has been integral to my success.

• Leading executive and broad-based compensation/benefit design and administration with Board-level reporting requirements

• Spearheading + negotiating labor relations initiatives
• Constructing integrated success plans - securing talent for today; seeding talent for tomorrow
• Building diversity initiatives focused on inclusion and business outcomes
• Insuring end-to-end program compliance - across landscape globally

All of this has been accomplished while reinforcing a culture of trust, integrity + fundamental expertise in my craft.
