Co-founder & CEO of Wowledge
Strategic HR program design | Integrated talent management | Future of HR
I am a co-founder and the CEO of Wowledge. My career spans nearly three decades across management consulting, HR leadership, and entrepreneurship.
After beginning my career at Accenture, I moved into HR executive roles and later spent more than 10 years as a leader at Deloitte Consulting. Throughout that time, I helped some of the most recognized Fortune 500 companies and growing organizations design and build best-in-class strategic HR programs.
I also hold an MBA from Babson College and am a graduate of Tulane University’s Entrepreneurship program.
Why I co-founded Wowledge
During the later years of my time at Deloitte, one thing became increasingly clear.
Proven approaches were scattered across decks, benchmarks, software, outside advisors, or simply stuck in experts’ heads. Today, AI has made information more abundant, yet HR teams still have to determine what to trust, what applies, what comes first, and how different programs and decisions fit together.
Organizations with large specialist teams or substantial consulting budgets have historically had an advantage. I never thought that should be the dividing line.
That realization led me to co-found Wowledge in 2022 with a mission I still believe in:
Strategic HR programs and practices should be accessible to any organization, regardless of size, stage, or sophistication level.
How Wowledge approaches the problem
Today, Wowledge is the Strategic HR Program Builder for lean teams.
We built it for HR teams expected to lead strategic programs across more disciplines, often without a specialist for each one. Wowledge provides the program foundation and structure, while practitioners determine what fits and how to apply it. That distinction is central to the current Wowledge offering.
The goal is not to replace professional judgment. It is to provide a stronger foundation so practitioners focus their expertise on the decisions that can give each organization its edge.
What I write about
As a contributing expert on Wowledge, I write about many of the questions I have spent my career working through: how to design strategic HR programs, how different talent and organizational practices work together, how HR should respond as business priorities change, and where technology and AI can strengthen professional expertise without replacing it.
I am particularly interested in how the People Function should evolve beyond incremental adaptation and how it can be reconfigured to navigate new operational realities with greater resilience.
