About

As the Founder and CEO of Anchor HR Services, Inc., I am dedicated to guiding organizations in anchoring their operations with strategic people practices and achieving their overarching objectives.

• 15+ years' experience in senior HR and leadership positions, leading the Employee Experience function for large national organizations with both provincially and federally regulated divisions. My tenure reflects a commitment to strategic oversight and innovative leadership in complex organizational landscapes.

• Broad career roles, including Operations, Training & Development, and HR Generalist positions, have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics and the strategic interplay between different functions.

• Proven success in supporting both small independent entities and large complex divisions to identify and overcome barriers to employee engagement and performance. This strategic approach has consistently led to an enhanced employee experience, while also effectively reducing risk and operational costs.

• Track record of strategic collaboration with Operations and HR divisions to build effective and sustainable programs and practices, from design through to implementation. This includes strategic planning for leader training and employee communications, underscoring the importance of strategic alignment across all levels of the organization.

Specialties: Change Management, Leader Engagement & Development, Employee Engagement, Process Design, Employee Communications, Employee and Labour Relations. My strategic focus in these areas ensures that I contribute to building resilient, forward-looking organizations ready to adapt and thrive in a changing world.
