I believe great HR isn't just a support function - it's the operating system that builds better businesses, stronger cultures, and more resilient leadership. That belief has guided my 30+ year career in human capital leadership, where I've held the top HR job 4X and supported teams through IPOs, bankruptcies, sponsor exits, and dozens of mergers and acquisitions. I've built functions from scratch as well as led teams inside world-class organizations like Pepsi and GE. Today, I apply those lessons in 3 ways: - As an Operating Partner for Altamont Capital Partners, I help portfolio companies drive results through better management strategy. - As the founder of Series B Consulting, I advise investors and high-growth companies on executive hiring, organizational design, and effective people practices. - And through People Leader Accelerator - an MBA-caliber development experience and peer community for HR leaders. Since launch, PLA has helped 100+ strategic HR leaders elevate their impact. I also teach, write, speak, and mentor emerging leaders - because while I still love doing the work, I'm just as passionate about helping others grow into it. If you’re an HR leader ready to accelerate your impact or a founder/investor looking to better equip your People leader, let’s connect. 📩 DM me or visit peopleleaderaccelerator.com to apply or book a conversation.
