Stacey Woods is an accomplished business leader with more than two decades of experience in human resources, organizational development and design, human capital strategy and planning, IT systems development and deployment, and mergers and acquisitions. She currently serves as Managing Partner and Founder of Uturn Consulting where she is positioned to share her expertise and skills with other companies who might need an official “turnaround expert.” Prior to launching Uturn Consulting, she served as Senior Vice President of Human Resources Operations at XPO, Vice President HR Technology for Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) and Vice President of Human Resources Systems at Wells Fargo.

Woods has been recognized as a “Top 50 HR Professional” and selected as a “Power 50” member by the National Diversity Council, has been named as a “Black Woman to Watch in Corporate America” by Fairygodboss, and most recently as one of the “50 Most Influential Women” in the greater Charlotte region by The Mecklenburg Times. She believes deeply in fostering community, mentorship, and sharing knowledge, and does her part by serving as an Angel Investor with Pipeline Angels and BLXVC and is a columnist for a local Charlotte publication while also serving as an active member of the Forbes Human Resources Council.

A firm believer of leaving situations and people better than she found them, Woods is honored to serve on Apparo’s Board of Directors—and is looking forward to assisting the organization with their mission to influence positive social change by ensuring the nonprofits supporting our communities receive the technical support, training and consultation needed to advance their work.
