Toni doesn’t just shape HR policies—she transforms organizations by designing HR architectures that unlock human potential and deliver measurable business results. With more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing, retail, high-tech manufacturing, and nutraceuticals, she has built and scaled HR functions that elevate performance, culture, and engagement.

As Vice President of Human Capital at a high-growth startup, she scaled the business from four to more than 400 employees in just three years. She didn’t simply grow headcount—she created the entire HR ecosystem, from talent pipelines and onboarding to training, compensation, leadership coaching, and career pathing. She also played a key role in preparing the facility for SQF certification, aligning HR processes with operational requirements to ensure compliance and readiness in a highly regulated environment. The result: an 85% engagement score and turnover rates that outperformed industry benchmarks.

At Chromalox, a global manufacturing company serving the energy sector, Toni inherited a 34% engagement score and 6% turnover. Within a year, she boosted engagement to 50%, cut turnover to 2%, and reduced safety incidents by 80%. She also led global initiatives, including designing competency-based career guides and chairing the corporate COVID-19 HR response team, ensuring business continuity at a critical time.

Her foundation in retail adds a unique dimension—she was selected to design a model store with innovative service concepts later rolled out company-wide. At Nutraceutical, she managed multi-state HR operations, harmonizing systems and policies during mergers and acquisitions.

Today, as Founder of Elevate HR 360, Toni brings this depth of experience to organizations seeking to align culture with strategy. She specializes in culture transformation, workforce planning, succession design, change management, and executive coaching, always with a focus on trust, accountability, and results.

Toni holds a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Utah State University and senior HR certifications as a SHRM-SCP and SPHR. Grounded in Utah’s Rocky Mountains, she recharges hiking, kayaking, skiing, and photographing nature. Her philosophy is simple: build legacies where people are the heart, culture fuels performance, and success follows naturally.
