Christina Nugent

I’m a Chief of Staff and HR/People Operations leader with more than 10 years of experience helping organizations create structure, improve accountability, and navigate growth.

Throughout my career, I've partnered closely with CEOs and leadership teams to support strategic planning, drive organizational initiatives, and help turn priorities into measurable results. My work has included leading HR functions, supporting executive decision-making, managing cross-functional initiatives, improving operational processes, and helping organizations build the systems needed to scale effectively.

I thrive in environments where there is an opportunity to strengthen operations, improve processes, and solve complex business challenges. Whether that means implementing new systems, formalizing people processes, identifying and addressing compliance risks, strengthening communication across departments, or coordinating critical business initiatives, I enjoy roles that require both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. I'm particularly effective at building relationships across all levels of an organization, working across departments to move initiatives forward, and approaching challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset.

My experience includes:

• Chief of Staff leadership, executive operations, and strategic business partnership

• HR strategy, employee relations, compliance, benefits administration, and organizational development

• Cross-functional project leadership, process improvement, and change management

• Policy development, HRIS implementation, governance, and operational oversight

• Executive decision support, leadership alignment, and organizational effectiveness

• Risk identification, mitigation, and continuous improvement initiatives

Throughout my career, I've worked closely with leaders across finance, operations, accounting, HR, and executive administration to align priorities, improve communication, and keep important initiatives moving forward.

I'm known for being adaptable, solutions-oriented, and highly collaborative, someone who can move comfortably between strategic discussions and day-to-day execution while maintaining discretion, professionalism, and a focus on results.
