Drew has spent 15 years spent getting into rooms most HR people don't see, doing the work that's hardest to hand off. Labor relations across unionized manufacturing floors. Performance management and org design at scale in hypergrowth tech. People Programs built from scratch in healthcare. IPO readiness in fintech.

His through-line isn't the industry. It's a belief that HR is most valuable when it's closest to the hardest problems. Relationships built intentionally. A human-first approach to navigating change.

He believes that belief shapes how AI fits into the work too. Custom workflow automations built on the Claude API. AI used daily to accelerate research, documentation, and synthesis. Real time spent thinking about where emerging tools belong in People work to solve realproblems and where they don't and add unnecessary noise.

His goal isn't efficiency for its own sake. It's getting the hours back that belong in a conversation with a leader who needs a real thought partner, not a process owner.
