Edward Elric

HR Systems Director

Summary

I run HR systems: the software that pays, tracks, and reports on people. Over 14 years I have owned 3 HRIS migrations and cut monthly close from 9 days to 3. I read org charts for a living, so putting my own career on one felt fair. I care most about clean data and payroll that lands on time.
