A Journey to HR Excellence
Fred’s journey into the "world of work" began at Northeastern University, where he pursued his MBA. "I was fascinated with how individuals relate to one another and succeed in different workplaces," Fred shares. This curiosity drove him to explore HR, a field where he could apply his insights to foster organizational growth and employee development.
As an HR leader in various organizations, Fred has learned that business success is largely driven by the engaged and skilled employees on any given team. He supported organizations where he says, "the employers invested in their people, making my role in leading the HR effort a personally rewarding experience." At NorthstarPMO, he continues this tradition, working closely with clients to ensure that their human resources strategies contribute to their overall success.
Fred fondly recalls his experience leading the development and implementation of ESOL and literacy classes at a manufacturing company, highlighting the profound impact of these programs. He recounts a graduation ceremony where a participant shared a touching story. Initially embarrassed by a language barrier, this employee was inspired by the program to never face such a situation again. "Unintended consequences can sometimes be life-changing," Fred reflects, emphasizing the deeper value of thoughtful HR practices.

Fred is eager to leverage his experience to support our clients' growth. "I look forward to partnering with NorthstarPMO's clients to support organizational growth through the involvement of their people," he says.
