Mandy Ferrero

Background

About Mandy Ferrero

I'm a strategic, people-first administrative professional with over 16 years of experience supporting executives and teams across tech, higher education, and professional services. For nearly two decades, I’ve thrived in roles where collaboration, culture, and operational excellence intersect; driving initiatives that connect people, boost morale, and bring clarity to fast-paced environments. Currently, I’m interested in transitioning into Human Resources; a natural next step that aligns with what I value most: helping people grow, building strong teams, and shaping inclusive, engaging work cultures. I’ve supported global hiring, partnered with HR on talent programs, led employee engagement initiatives, and mentored colleagues across organizations like Cisco, Stanford University, and Santa Clara University. At my core, I’m motivated by purpose, connection, and impact. I bring the intuition of a seasoned EA, the systems-thinking of a Chief of Staff, and the empathy of someone who genuinely cares about people and their experience at work. If you’re passionate about creating better workplaces or looking for a partner in people and culture, I’d love to connect.
