About

Organizations do not fail because of people. They fail because their people systems stop working. I work at the intersection of people, systems, and strategy, helping leaders build the structures, clarity, and capability required for sustained performance. I serve as Director of Human Resources and Labour Relations at Ambrose University, where I lead enterprise HR strategy, labour relations, governance, and culture across faculty and staff. My mandate is to strengthen institutional trust, improve decision quality, and ensure leaders are equipped to lead fairly, consistently, and confidently. Alongside this role, I am Founder and Lead Instructor at Luminous Consulting, where I design and deliver advanced programs in Labour Relations, Canadian Employment Law, and Strategic HR. I also work directly with senior leaders and HR executives navigating complexity, scale, and heightened accountability. With over 15 years of experience across Fortune 500 organizations, higher education, and unionized environments, my work focuses on the people risks and system gaps that quietly undermine execution, leadership effectiveness, and organizational credibility. Selected Impact - Reduced labour risk and improved labour stability through strategic labour relations redesign, cutting arbitration and grievance exposure while strengthening partnership. - Strengthened leadership pipelines and succession readiness through enterprise leadership development and job rotation systems. - Elevated governance and decision quality by building HR and compliance architectures that enabled consistent, defensible people decisions. - Coached executives and HR leaders to transition from reactive execution to strategic people leadership. - Founded and led a national community of over 1,000 HR professionals across Canada, creating a trusted space for learning, peer exchange, and professional growth to help practitioners thrive in complex, real-world environments. I share practical insights through HR Fieldnote, my weekly newsletter and LinkedIn platform, where I publish frameworks and perspectives to help leaders make better people decisions. If you are responsible for people systems, leadership capability, or organizational risk, I aim to be a useful partner through my work, teaching, and thinking.
