Why Excite HR?
HR technology should be more than just another software purchase—it should be a game-changer. That’s why I chose the name Excite HR: because HR technology should do more than check a box—it should transform how organizations engage with their people.
With over 20 years of experience shaping and selling HR technology for Fortune 500 companies, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about features—it’s about delivering real business value. The right approach and technology can drive adoption, generate excitement, and create meaningful impact.
Whether guiding organizations through AI-driven talent solutions or simplifying complex implementations, my goal remains the same: to make HR technology something people are excited to use.
