Client & Partner Recommendations
I’m pleased to recommend Alicia. I worked with her for many years at UScellular. Alicia brings high integrity, clear judgment, and a strong ability to create meaningful improvements in both people outcomes and business performance. Alicia supported a wide range of organizations- Retail, Agent, National Retail, Business Sales, Enterprise Portfolio Management, Engineering, and Human Resources and delivered results in every one. She quickly understands the needs of an organization, builds trust with leaders, and moves work forward with a balanced, practical approach. That combination makes her effective in full-time roles and equally strong in consulting or contract environments where teams need an experienced leader who can create impact quickly. A good example is her work in the indirect distribution channel. Turnover was a serious challenge, and Alicia designed and delivered a consultation training program for our Agent Development Managers. It immediately strengthened their capabilities and drove a 13% reduction in turnover in the first year, with continued progress over time. She also distinguished herself during highly sensitive work, such as managing the Keystone outplacement contract. Alicia handled a complex, high-stakes initiative with professionalism, empathy, and steadiness. Senior leaders regarded it as the best-managed contract process they had seen. Alicia is strategic, collaborative, innovative, and exceptionally good at supporting teams through change. She’s well suited for both permanent leadership roles and consulting engagements that require experience, clarity, and measurable results.

Alicia is the epitome of how a great HR business partner operates. I had the privilege of working with her for five years, and she made me a better leader. Alicia delivered on all of the core HR responsibilities but also came up with innovative ways to drive development, inclusion, and performance across my teams. She also provided me with coaching and counsel that had a profound impact on my own growth as a leader. I strongly recommend Alicia and know that she would make an outstanding addition to any organization.

Alicia is an engaging, talented HR leader. She has a rare blend of deep Business Partner knowledge and strategic HR acumen. While at US Cellular she supported my department and she also served as a colleague on a number of HR projects. I especially appreciate her ability to demonstrate diligent HR process discipline while consistently sharing ideas that improve HR practice and introduce innovation.
