In the 22 years I spent there, I held leadership roles in sales, operations, training, development, and human resources. As SVP, People and Culture, I was responsible for approximately 14,000 corporate and retail employees. There, I set a personal goal to help people from the C-suite to the loading dock and was personally able to gradually shift the culture of this huge company. Under my leadership and initiative, it became a place where each person felt respected and knew their contributions were appreciated. These 14,000 people grew in their roles; they were now aligned, engaged, and ultimately more successful.

After departing Jones, I was hired by the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent for the Americas in a lateral VP role. There, I built on my experience to develop a fresh, people-centric culture throughout the region during a time of rapid growth within the division. Additionally, I gained international work experience while creating bridges to our team members in our French home and other international offices. My time there was challenging and rewarding, but I understood there was a better path to use my experience and insights on a different scale — this time, helping executives, business owners, and individuals to optimize both their work and personal lives.

I enrolled in a certification program and rooted my personal philosophy in the transformative power of one-to-one work, which informed my coaching practice to focus on individuals.

When Lovesac, the large U.S. furniture retailer, recruited me, I put my private coaching on hiatus to work with this dynamic and progressive company, which had just gone public. The energy and the intention were palpable — I was excited by the company’s guiding principles and values and was invigorated by the leadership team, along with the incredible opportunity I could see to bring their culture and my experience to new life. In my time as Senior Vice President of People and Culture, I created our People Strategy, firmly putting employees first, in a real culture of care, belonging, engagement, and empowerment. Our decisions and actions matched the promises we made to our people. As a result, our culture was often cited as second to none. The company’s measured engagement grew significantly, and the business results during this time spoke for themselves.

Lovesac represented a full circle for me, reminding me once again that taking care of your employees and team by creating a culture of trust, inclusion, and empowerment will always bring exceptional results to a business environment.
