Background

About Emily Goodfellow

I am a certified Senior Human Resources executive with over 25 years of experience in the hospitality and restaurant industries. I am experienced in building collaborative teams that provide centralized support to multi-state, multi-unit companies in both mature and high-growth stages. Helping Others:What excites me each day is the opportunity and privilege to help motivate and inspire others to be their best at work. Being able to support others through tough situations is what drives me. The only thing that’s better is also showing others the core problem solving skills that will help them feel more certain about how to handle similar challenges next time.Relentless Love of Technology, Procurement, and Process Improvement:I’ve discovered a love for the process of sourcing, negotiating, and implementing well-matched HR solutions, technology, or partners. I thrive on collaborative project planning and execution. I engage heavily with vendor partners and solicit and deliver feedback on a regular basis. To me, the relationship with external partners is not about who pays whom. Rather, it is a partnership where both sides have a need and desire to deliver results. Intrinsic motivation always wins. Supportive Coach, Humbled by Her Team’s Successes:The best part of my job is to support and work with a team of professionals who share common goals.
