Strategic Board Director & Executive Advisor
I advise boards and executive teams navigating the future of work, where human capital strategy, global governance, and technological innovation intersect. My 15+ years as Chief Human Resources Officer at Delta Dental, combined with experience across financial services, government, and tech, gives me a unique vantage point on what it takes to scale culture while maintaining excellence.
Governance & Professional Leadership
As Board Chair of the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI)—the global standard-setter for the HR profession—I shape the future of HR excellence. My work in ISO standards and oversight of world-class certifications (GPHR/SPHR) positions me at the forefront of how the profession evolves.
Advancing the Tech Ecosystem
I'm deeply invested in building the next generation of innovative companies. As Board Co-Chair of the Roanoke Blacksburg Innovation Alliance and advisor to RAMP-accelerated startups, I help tech and HR tech founders navigate:
​
-
Scaling high-performance culture in hypergrowth environments

Executive compensation and equity architecture
-
The human impact of AI integration
Global Perspective & Thought Leadership
I bring international insight to every engagement. As a speaker at the World HRD Congress in Mumbai and recognized as one of the "100 Most Influential Global Leaders in Asia," I understand the nuances of leading across borders.
