Operating Approach
I operate at the intersection of people strategy, business execution, and organizational scale. My work focuses on building Human Resources operating models that enable growth, protect value, and give leadership teams the clarity and infrastructure they need to perform.
I am equally effective as a full-time Human Resources executive, a Vice President or Director-level leader embedded in a scaling organization, or a fractional Chief Human Resources Officer advising at the board and chief executive officer level. The title matters less than the problem. If the organization needs senior Human Resources leadership that executes, that is the conversation I am built for.
PUBLISHED AUTHOR
Jeffrey Roe is the author of Deal Ready. Every other guide to HR in mergers and acquisitions was written for the buyer. This one was written for the seller, the company that wants to be Ready for a Deal before the buyer ever arrives. Built on 25 years and 30 acquisitions across 26 countries, it shows HR leaders how to get ahead of the gaps and become Deal Ready long before a transaction begins. The second book in the series is underway.
