Background

About Micaela Thompson

With over a decade of cross-functional leadership experience, I’ve built a career around driving operational excellence, building high-performing teams, and creating people-centered cultures that scale. From managing multi-million dollar retail stores to partnering on strategic HR initiatives in corporate and warehouse environments, I’ve learned how to lead with integrity, think on my feet, and deliver results—even in high-pressure situations. My journey includes leadership roles at Amazon, Nordstrom, and Claire’s, as well as strategic HR positions with organizations like Boeing and Vighter. I thrive at the intersection of operations and people, where efficiency meets empathy. What sets me apart? I bring a blend of structured corporate know-how and people-first retail grit. I’ve led diverse teams, trained future leaders, and navigated everything from process improvement to employee relations. Currently seeking new opportunities in operations, people management, or talent-focused leadership roles—especially in environments that value trust, adaptability, and results. Let’s connect!
