About Jessica

I connect people strategy to business results

I’m a business-driven HR executive with more than 25 years of experience leading enterprise talent and people strategy in complex, highly regulated, growth-oriented, and mission-focused organizations. My background spans a Fortune 50 omnichannel retailer, the nation’s largest consumer-governed healthcare system, and the nation’s largest financial management services provider for self-directed care programs.

The strongest people strategies are business strategies. When talent and culture decisions align with growth goals, everything moves faster.

I have built and scaled leadership and talent infrastructure for multi-state workforces across onsite, hybrid, and remote environments. As a trusted advisor to executive teams, I strengthen leadership capability and align people, roles, and organizational structure to advance strategic priorities and sustain performance.

I’m a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) and a participant in the Wharton Executive Education Chief Human Resources Officer program. Through NorthVantage HR, powered by SRV HR, I bring that enterprise experience to growing companies.

Ready for your business to thrive?

Most businesses don't stall because of their market. They stall because of people.

You already know your people drive your results. You just don’t have the time, or the in-house expertise, to build the systems that get the most from them. That’s where I come in. As your fractional CHRO, I install proven talent strategy and HR systems that are repeatable, scalable, and built for your business.

Areas of Expertise

Where I create the most value

Deep specialization across the full spectrum of human resources leadership, with an eye always on retention, engagement, and performance.

Growth-Stage & PE-Backed Companies

Building the talent readiness and organizational structure that growth-stage and private equity-backed companies need to scale quickly.

Healthcare & Regulated Environments

Navigating the compliance, workforce, and culture demands unique to healthcare and other highly regulated industries.

Building & Scaling HR Functions

Building HR from the ground up, or scaling an existing function to match where your business is headed.

People & Culture Strategy

Aligning mission, vision, and values with the everyday behaviors that drive performance.

Organizational Design & Talent Planning

Structuring roles, teams, and workforce plans, then building the talent acquisition strategy to fill them.

Leadership Development & Performance Management

Coaching executives and building the culture and performance systems that sustain growth.

Does your business struggle with…

The challenges that quietly cap your growth

Attracting and retaining the right people?

The talent who can actually drive your business results, and the systems to keep them.

People processes that don't run efficiently?

Hiring, onboarding, performance, and pay that should run like clockwork, but don’t.

A culture that's undefined, or dividing the team?

Misalignment and disorder that quietly erode engagement and profit.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Businesses of every size face them, and I’m ready to help you overcome them.
