Tracy is an Executive Director, transformational human resources leader, and trusted business advisor with 30+ years of experience spanning the full scope of HR services.

Before joining Accordion, she was a Principal at the private equity consulting firm FCM, supporting portfolio companies in the people-related aspects of acquisition integration and organization redesign. Previously, Tracy spent two decades with Nielsen – based in Asia and the U.S. There, she fostered a people-centric culture while driving operational initiatives that produced multimillion-dollar results. As SVP People Experience for the Americas, Tracy was instrumental in the company’s COVID-19 response and achieved 98% employee retention after deploying a vaccination requirement. She also led change management across the Americas during a complex business line carve-out, increasing employee engagement +1.5x and maintaining a union-free environment. Earlier, as the Asia-Pacific HR Director, Tracy provided strategic counsel to unite three different media teams under a single structure that delivered on-target revenue and +23% EBITDA. Throughout her career, she has led HR due diligence and successful integration or separation for multiple acquisitions, joint ventures and divestitures.

Tracy is a Fellow of the Australian Human Resources Institute, and earned her Diploma in Human Resources from Monash University (Australia).
