Hire the Best HR Consultants in Arizona

I help founder-led and scaling companies build compensation and HR systems that support growth, protect margins, and reduce risk. With over 25 years of experience in executive search, compensation strategy, and HR advisory, I work directly with founders and leadership teams who need senior-level guidance without hiring a full-time HR executive. I hold four senior certifications: **Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) **Certified Executive Compensation Professional (CECP) **SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources) **GPHR (Global Professional in Human Resources) My work is especially valuable for companies moving from “informal and reactive” to structured and scalable. **Compensation Strategy & Pay Architecture **Market benchmarking and true-market analysis **Salary band design and internal leveling **Incentive and bonus plan development **Executive and leadership compensation modeling **Equity and long-term incentive guidance **Pay equity and internal alignment reviews I help companies answer critical questions such as: Are we paying competitively — and sustainably? How should we structure incentives as we grow? What is a defensible compensation range for this role? How do we align pay with performance and profitability? Fractional HR & Growth Advisory **Multi-state compliance and wage/hour guidance **Performance management structure **Organizational design and role clarity **Policy development and risk mitigation **Hiring strategy and workforce planning Clients typically engage me when: **They are growing quickly and need structure **Compensation decisions are becoming more complex **They want senior HR guidance without adding executive overhead **They need clarity before funding, expansion, or scaling My approach is practical, data-driven, and business-focused. I understand that every compensation decision impacts margin, retention, and long-term sustainability. Available for project-based work or ongoing advisory relationships.

I am an experienced HR Systems and Analytics professional with a career rooted in the full lifecycle of Human Resources operations, technology, and data. My background spans functional HR exposure, enterprise reporting and analytics, legacy system maintenance, and large-scale cloud transformation, allowing me to bridge business needs with technical execution in a way that delivers real, usable outcomes. I began my career supporting core HR and benefits processes, which gave me a strong foundation in how HR functions operate day to day and how decisions impact employees, leaders, and compliance. From there, I transitioned into HR data, reporting, and analytics, partnering closely with HR Business Partners, Workforce Planning teams, Compensation, Payroll, and Finance to translate business questions into reliable data models, dashboards, and decision ready insights. Over the years, I have led and supported HR reporting and analytics strategy, workforce planning and organizational analysis, data governance, validation, and quality controls, ongoing maintenance and optimization of legacy PeopleSoft HCM environments, and custom reporting solutions across HR, Talent, Benefits, and Payroll. Today, I serve as a lead on a multi year Oracle HCM Cloud implementation, where I am responsible for Core HR workstream leadership, HR data conversion strategy and execution, end to end data validation and testing including SIT, mock conversions, and parallel readiness, defect triage, bug management, and resolution coordination, and HR reporting and analytics leadership including downstream consumers and integrations. This implementation spans the full Oracle HCM suite, including Core HR, Benefits, Payroll, Time and Labor, Absence, Talent, Learning, and Reporting, requiring tight coordination across vendors, IT, and HR stakeholders. I operate at the intersection of data, process, and delivery, ensuring that what goes live is accurate, auditable, and usable by the business. What differentiates me is my ability to see the big picture of HR transformation while managing field level detail, communicate effectively with executives, HR partners, developers, and vendors, own complex problem spaces such as data conversion, testing strategy, and reporting integrity, and drive work forward with structure, accountability, and clarity. If you are looking for someone who understands HR from the inside out, can lead complex system initiatives, and can be trusted with high risk areas like data, testing, and analytics, I bring both the experience and the execution mindset to deliver results.
