Hi, I'm Kris.

Senior HR Leader, Strategic Business Partner

About Me

I partner with executive leaders to develop resilient cultures, build high-impact teams, and drive significant organizational growth.

My expertise lies in designing and executing HR initiatives that directly deliver bottom-line results, elevate employee experience, shape enterprise-wide talent strategies, and strengthen leadership capability. I combine data-driven insight with empathetic leadership to build robust talent pipelines, enhance organizational effectiveness, and sustain positive, lasting change.

My career spans pharma, startup, manufacturing, and distribution, where I've transformed HR functions into pivotal drivers of business success and talent optimization.

I am open to remote, Cincinnati/Northern KY-based, or regional Senior HR leadership roles. 🔽

I’m seeking opportunities to architect strategic HR solutions that build future-ready organizations. I want to partner with a business that values measurable impact and leadership excellence.

My Strategic Impact & Achievements Include: 🔽

Engineered a remarkable 60% reduction in voluntary turnover (from 24% to under 9%) at Takeda within my first fiscal year, drastically improving workforce stability, enhancing employee satisfaction, and reducing operational costs.
Directed the successful launch and rapid expansion of a 174-employee distribution center, scaling to over 530 FTEs within two years at iHerb, demonstrating exceptional foresight in talent acquisition and operational support during periods of aggressive growth.
Designed and implemented innovative compensation and recognition programs, including a skills-based pay progression system projected to increase internal mobility by 8-10% for 300+ manufacturing employees, significantly boosting engagement and career development.
Orchestrated comprehensive organizational responses to critical challenges, such as leading the COVID-19 strategy at iHerb that ensured operational continuity and safety while navigating complex compliance landscapes.
