Built from the inside.
Not the outside looking in.
Leslie started her career in healthcare, as a medical records clerk. That role gave her an early look inside how hospitals actually function, the documentation, the processes, the people who keep things running quietly behind the scenes. Her curiosity about people and her natural affinity for how organizations work eventually drew her toward HR and payroll, where she joined a hospital HR team doing the work HCM systems are built to support: benefits enrollments, recruiting, onboarding, and HRIS.
When the hospital launched an HCM implementation, leadership asked her to join the project team because of the business process work she had already done and the creative solutions she had developed to eliminate labor-intensive manual processes. That crossover shaped everything that followed.
She has never forgotten what it feels like to sit on the other side of a system decision. She has watched executives choose platforms without asking the people who would use them. She has seen the fear that runs through an HR team when an implementation is announced. She does not manage around that. She addresses it, because that is one of the reasons programs fail.
Thirty years of delivery across Lawson S3, Infor GHR, Ceridian, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Workday, and ServiceNow have followed. Most recently, she served as Service Delivery Director, led the PMO, and built the Infor practice at JK Seva, one of the most respected names in Infor consulting. In that capacity she oversaw the full portfolio of active client engagements and took the lead on the most complex recoveries. Among them: a Lawson S3 to Infor GHR migration that had cycled through multiple implementation partners and project managers without reaching go-live. She took over the engagement, stabilized it, and delivered a successful cutover. The client stayed. The system went live. Problem solving and execution are where she is most at home. That work is not delegated. It is why clients call her in the first place.
Outside of work she is a wife and mom who is actively involved in her community. She volunteers with her local K-8 school through PTSA, serves as HOA president for her community, and is a former member of the Cedars-Sinai Diabetes Advisory Board. She brings the same standard of follow-through and accountability to those roles that she brings to every engagement. Somehow she is still the person clients reach when something goes wrong on a Friday afternoon.
