Jamila Taylor
Managing Director and Head of Human Resources Operations, Guidehouse Inc.
In 2019, Jamila Taylor joined Guidehouse, the recently acquired PricewaterhouseCoopers’ U.S. public sector business by an affiliate of private equity firm Veritas Capital. Appointed as the head of HR operations, Taylor is responsible for all day-to-day operations including compensation and benefits, talent acquisition, HR information systems data and analytics, payroll and shared services.
As a recent carve-out and with such a diverse and broad range of programs, Taylor has focused on the “build out” and alignment of human capital to the Guidehouse business strategy.
“I’m proud to have joined such a dedicated and gritty team,” Taylor said. Her group focuses on partnering with the business to ensure its human capital practices, tools and repeatable routines meet business needs and build confidence; identify, attract and retain a diverse workforce; as well as develop and deploy tools for company leaders to engage and motivate employees.
But most of all, Taylor said she’s extremely proud of the team’s accomplishments in recent months helping the business achieve its most notable milestone to date — the recent announcement of the Navigant merger.
And according to Taylor, that merger continues to allow Guidehouse to differentiate itself from competitors by creating a unique consultancy with unparalleled scale in both regulated commercial end markets and in the public sector that regulates those end markets. The deep, focused expertise in both industry and technology-enabled solutions delivers unique services offering in the management consulting marketplace.
“I’ve had success advancing the human capital mission at Guidehouse by sticking to my core values and beliefs,” Taylor said. “I demonstrate the importance of operating with integrity, an unyielding work ethic and a level of confidence that garners the team’s trust and infuses them with new energy.
“I inspire those around me by being positive in my approach and actions and being fully committed and passionate in all that I do,” she added. “I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty and leading by example!”
Why Watch:
Going forward, Taylor plans to continue focusing on the large-scale integration activities of Navigant, the design and implementation of an enterprisewide Job Architecture and Compensation structure, a global Human Resources Information System and a global shared services center.
