Background

About Percy Walker

As a strategic Human Resource leader with over two decades of experience across corporate and military environments, I have built my career on advancing people-first strategies that deliver measurable operational impact. From overseeing global HR operations as a Sergeant Major in the U.S. Marine Corps to managing complex employee relations for a Fortune 500 company, my focus has remained on aligning talent strategies with business goals. I have led high-performing teams of 300+ staff across multi-regional units, implemented large-scale recruiting and leadership development programs, and reduced attrition by over 35 percent through targeted process improvements. I bring deep expertise in employee relations, risk mitigation, and cultural transformation, having advised senior executives at Wells Fargo on performance and legal matters affecting employees. My work has been recognized for its impact and agility—resolving more than 500 cases annually with best-in-class turnaround and achieving a Net Promoter Score of 88.9. I have also spearheaded enterprise-wide training initiatives on harassment prevention, diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as ethical leadership, driving significant gains in employee engagement and policy adherence. At every stage of my career, I have combined disciplined operational leadership with human-centered strategy to elevate workforce performance. Whether navigating pandemic-era recruiting challenges or leading change-of-command transitions for over service members, I create scalable, resilient systems that empower people and drive success. With certifications in human resources, project management, and agile leadership, I thrive in high-stakes environments where talent development, compliance, and business execution must operate in lockstep.
