Background

Over 30+ years experience in process operations for Human Resources (recruiting, hiring, onboarding, offboarding, internship program, community outreach, employer branding, HRIS, HCM, background checks, vendor management). Impacted in July by Disney's acquisition of Fox Entertainment Group--there was not an opportunity at Disney for 1000's of us--but I worked for 2 years+ on ensuring all of the process, practices and knowledge was secure and delivered to Disney. Used to leading large technical and operations teams, to include recruiting professionals. Let me bring my expertise to your firm for a day, week, month or longer.
