Bio
I have over 20 years of Leadership and HR experience spanning manufacturing, energy, technology, software, aerospace, biopharma and non-profit sectors. Throughout my career, I was blessed to serve on multiple Division/P&L leadership teams at one time... I always had to be VERSAtile and in-the-moment to engage with and empower my leadership teams to drive business results.
I quit my W2 job and launched Versa Business Partners in January 2020 (great timing, I know) with the plan to bring my VERSAtile Executive Coaching, HR and Leadership to as many leaders and companies as possible. Late 2020, presented an opportunity to build and lead an Outsourced HR company that, at peak, had 14 people and delivered 7-figure annual revenues with customers ranging from the EU & UK to California. While entrepreneurship was a wild-ride and I absolutely loved my team, I kept waking up chasing the next customer and putting out the next fire... Instead of what I quit my job to do and felt my purpose in life is: HELPING EXECUTIVES AND THEIR TEAMS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
I exited the Outsourced HR business in 2023 and got back to my roots. Through Executive Coaching, Consulting and Fractional CHRO engagements, I partner with leaders to optimize both personal and organizational performance. My approach integrates leadership development with operational excellence, enabling leaders to build high-performing teams while enhancing their own effectiveness. The result is stronger organizations led by more capable, confident leaders. This isn't just my work - it's my calling to help transform both leaders and their organizations.
My approach combines Fortune 500 HR expertise and tools with hands-on operational experience - from the shop floor to the C-suite. This allows me to translate complex corporate initiatives into practical solutions that work in the real world.
What sets me apart is my ability to serve as a bridge - between strategy and execution, between leadership vision and team engagement, and between corporate and field operations. I leverage both business acumen and deep empathy to help leaders drive meaningful transformation while building stronger, more cohesive teams.
While I’m super VERSAtile and can pick up business and people situations quickly, you'll find me working with:
•C-Suite and Division Leadership Teams
•Organizations managing multiple revenue streams, often with complicated structures
•Corporate and operations leaders navigating significant change
•Family Office, Private Equity, Privately Owned, and Non-Profit organizations
