About

As an HR Leader, I have always believed that the greatest and most innovative organizations succeed because of one reason: people. That’s why I have always worked to put people at the center of every organization I’ve led, aligning them to strategic business imperatives and building people-led development programs that support talent as a competitive advantage that strengthen culture and business outputs. I joined Synchrony in 2014, as the HR Client Leader for the Corporate Governance Functions: Finance, Risk, Credit, Regulatory, Compliance, Legal and Internal Audit, where I helped manage the integration and separation from General Electric. Continuing to support the business, I transitioned to serving as Senior Vice President, Human Resources for the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their organizations consisting of 9,000+ Synchrony employees in 20 locations in the US, India, and the Philippines. I started my career at PepsiCo and held several roles of increasing responsibility within HR Field Operations. I later became Director of Labor Relations where I led labor and employee relations for the North America Beverages business, a division with over $14B in revenue. In that role, I managed all aspects of union awareness strategies and programs. After that, I served as Senior Director Global Organization Development responsible for global career development and succession planning.
