I am an energetic and reliable business professional with over 20 years experience in fast paced, dynamic, professional environments in business of all sizes, and in a variety of industries and locations. →I am a skilled strategist and effective negotiator. As the Director of Planning, Logistics and HR at Bohme, a women’s clothing chain with stores in 9 states, I converted the organization from a PEO to ASO structure, cutting payroll administration costs by over 40%.

In our first year, my team raised over $200 million. We also increased investment banking clients by 20%. During my 13 year career at Fidelity Investments, I led teams of 40+ licensed professionals.
