RB Harrison Retired Chief Operations Officer, Macy’s INC
Dan is a result driven leader who has a passion for the business. I worked with Dan over the past 5 years and found him to be a strong partner and resource for both myself and other senior leaders. Dan led the human resources areas responsible for logistics operations, credit, customer and corporate services, supporting the business to deliver results. Dan was a skilled evaluator and developer of talent at all levels and had a unique ability to grow individuals to reach higher performance. He was personally invested in their success. I was especially impressed in Dan’s ability to lead the team through seasonal hiring, building a people centered culture that balanced individual and organizational needs, his ability to be agile and nimble helping to make the changes allowing the organization to evolve with the changing business. I highly recommend working with Dan as a business partner to solve challenges facing the eCommerce and Supply Chain areas.

In his capacity as a senior HR executive, I have watched Dan exercise his skills and experience to build relationships and a culture that fostered both high levels of engagement and outstanding results. Dan is a strategic thinker with the ability to motivate others to develop and grow into outstanding performers. His in-depth knowledge of human resources requirements and practices coupled with strong interpersonal skills were amply demonstrated in his leadership role a Senor HR executive. His ability to motivate and impart his knowledge to others was the key to his success as an Adjunct Professor and student mentor in our graduate program in Organizational Behavior.

Leland M. Smith – Regional Field Recruiter at Averitt Express & Owner Another L Smith Creation
I had the absolute honor and privilege to work under the leadership of Tracy a year ago. From the very beginning, it was evident I was working with a consummate professional. I have worked with many superb managers/leaders in my 24 years of experience in Human Resources and NEVER met someone as knowledgeable and dedicated to her craft. She is a hands-on leader and is always in teaching mode. Tracy loves what she does and it shows in the results she produces and the diligence in which she performs her duties. I will always see her as someone I can reach out to for advice and guidance.
