  • Acquisitions

    • During my tenure with Group 1 Automotive, I was the HRIS/Payroll team leader for over 90 acquisitions​ 

      • While this was an evolutionary process, we ultimately achieved the point where on "day one" of the close, the system was set-up, employee data was tested and all new employees were set up and able to be paid through Group 1's ADP Enterprise V5 system​

      • Worked with the other HR acquisition team members to make sure the benefit deduction interfaces were set up and a current active census was provided to the benefits' vendors

    • Working with Univar Solutions as a consultant, assisted with the transition of the acquisition of a bi-weekly payroll group being sold from an odd cycle to an even cycle for final 2019 payroll​

      • Worked on the acquisition group to update Vantage tables, special calculations, deductions, and employee fields that did not pass from legacy ADP by doing comparison analysis between the two systems​

    • Working with Duly Health and Care as a consultant, I was the ADP Vantage Client Project Team Lead working with ADP Project Services for a 2,000 employee acquisition going live on 1/1/22 to ADP Vantage.  ​

      • I created and maintained the Duly Project Workbook and conducted weekly internal meetings to make sure all were aware of issues and action items to try to stay on top of the items for a smooth transition.

      • Since acquisitions were new to Duly, we had post-mortem meetings, and I wrote an 'Acquisition-Integration Playbook' based on these meetings and my previous experience to use as a guide for future acquisitions.
