About this speaker
With over 20 years of experience in talent acquisition, workforce strategy, and leadership development, I am passionate about helping businesses attract, retain, and optimize top talent. As the Founder & CEO of f/EVO, I partner with organizations to implement scalable, high-impact talent solutions that align with their business goals.
Throughout my career, I have led global talent acquisition teams, designed inclusive hiring strategies, and spearheaded transformational initiatives across multiple industries, including technology, government contracting, and non-profit sectors. My expertise spans corporate recruitment strategy, workforce planning/integration, compensation design, and organizational development.
Talent Acquisition & Workforce Strategy Expert
At Boomi, Inc., I served as the Global DEI Director of Talent, leading efforts to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion into global recruitment processes. I developed and executed strategies that increased diverse hiring representation, improved recruitment efficiencies, and strengthened university engagement initiatives.
As Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Redhorse Corporation, I implemented new hiring frameworks, optimized recruitment systems, and built a high-performing talent acquisition team. My leadership ensured compliance with federal hiring regulations and streamlined hiring operations to improve candidate experience and talent retention.
In previous leadership roles at E3 Federal Solutions, CoStar Group, Vencore, and Accenture, I managed high-volume recruitment efforts, transformed hiring processes, and developed strategic workforce initiatives that drove business success and operational efficiency.
Driving Business Evolution Through Fractional Leadership
Recognizing the growing need for flexible executive leadership, I founded f/EVO—a firm specializing in fractional talent solutions. Our on-demand leadership model provides businesses with senior-level talent acquisition expertise without the commitment of full-time executive hires. We help organizations scale rapidly, adapt to change, and remain competitive by embedding data-driven strategies and best-in-class recruitment practices.
Industry Influence & Thought Leadership
Beyond my direct work with clients, I am a firm believer in knowledge sharing and industry engagement. I am an active member of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), NAPS (National Association of Personnel Services), and HCI (Human Capital Institute). I hold multiple certifications in strategic workforce planning, talent optimization, and leadership development.
I frequently collaborate with executives, HR leaders, and industry professionals to exchange insights on emerging talent trends, recruitment innovations, and workforce best practices. My goal is to redefine how businesses attract and develop talent in an ever-evolving market.
