A money-losing division had to cut headcount by 20%. The usual practice was same-day notice and a walk-out.
What I did. Proposed and ran a new approach: 60 days' notice so people could interview for open roles across TI, an all-hands on what, when and why, and 1:1 support for every impacted employee.
Result. No lasting damage among those who stayed; the division restructured and returned to profit, and many impacted employees found new roles inside TI.
As VP of HR and SHEQ, I owned a division-wide injury rate that had to come down.
What I did. Shifted the division to proactive safety measures and ran the “Why I work safely” campaign.
Result. LTIFR down 68% and TRIFR down 45% since 2023, with three injury-free months in 2025.
Epiroc's $760M STANLEY Infrastructure acquisition (2024) brought in about 1,380 employees with a 60-day Transition Services Agreement.
What I did. Led the stand-up of payroll and benefits, including a new 401(k), then led health plan harmonization and the 401(k) harmonization roadmap.
Result. Payroll and benefits live inside the 60 days; health plans harmonized for 2026.
Results and programs in five HR areas.
HR due diligence and integration that carry people, pay, benefits and culture safely through a transaction.
Fair, consistent people practices, compliance and safety that protect employees and the business.
Compensation, benefits and payroll that are competitive, compliant and tied to performance.
Leadership programs, succession and talent reviews that build the bench a business needs next.
Recruiting built as a system: sourcing channels, employer brand, and onboarding that holds on to the people you hire.
