About Mimi Smith

WHO AM I? I’m a strategic and people-first HR leader with 8+ years of experience driving talent strategy, DEI, organizational change, and employee engagement across Fortune 100 companies. With a dual MHR/MBA, military training, and a proven record of reducing turnover to 0.5% and delivering $6M+ in cost savings through org transformation, I bring both operational rigor and human-centered leadership to every challenge. I have an uncanny ability to execute, taking you, your Team, and your projects from point A to point B. I enjoy finding out-of-the-box ways to deliver results and obtain the desired outcomes. My experience spans global HR business partnering, performance management, site closures, labor relations, and the design of scalable initiatives—from New Hire Orientation to Exit & Stay Interviews. I’ve coached 500+ senior leaders, launched recognition systems that doubled engagement, and built DEI programs that amplify belonging and business impact.
