Jonna Mooney
I am an HR professional with over twenty five years of experience as a generalist, business partner, and HR leader. Most of my experience is in small to mid-sized international technology companies facing challenges around their growth and changing business climate. I discovered about 15 years ago that I have a passion for working with non-profit organizations in my community. I was lucky enough to be a member of the Melita Group HR Services team from 2009 until Lisa and I founded Affogato HR Consulting in 2018. My Melita clients included small and medium-sized technology firms with a global presence, non-profit organizations, and small companies in industries ranging from construction to banking to software development to biotech. I am so happy to have so many of those clients from my first days at Melita. Before consulting, I was VP, HR at publicly-traded CDC Software, held HR Director positions at privately-held Omneon and Velosel, and HR management roles at Cadence Design Systems and Sherpa. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from UCLA, which taught me how to think and solve problems logically. I have held HR certifications including the Senior Professional in Human Resources with an additional state-specific certification in California (SPHR-CA) and a Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR) and the Society for Human Resources Management SHRM-SCP certification. In my free time I enjoy food, wine, books and travel, in no particular order. My monthly book club provides at least 3 of those 4. Recent travel included another trip to China, plus trips to India, The Netherlands, New York City, Spokane, Banff National Park, Nashville and Mendocino. In 2021, we enjoyed more time in the lovely Sonoma Valley wine country and appreciated biking around San Jose. Happily, world travel has resumed with trips to Bali, Houston, a fall cruise on the Danube, spring in Belgium and a big trip to Spain and Portugal. That African Safari is still on my bucket list.

After nearly four decades of working in Human Resources, I’ve decided to take the first step down the road to retirement. Beginning in July 2022, I will be winding down my leadership role with Affogato. I will continue to provide HR consulting and advising within my community in Mendocino County and will do this as a member of the Affogato team. I’ve struggled with using the “R word” because retirement today is not an end, but a beginning. I look forward to continuing to do what I love, while opening my mind and spirit to new endeavors. I have spent over thirty years as an HR practitioner and leader. Much of my experience has been in high technology, working with large and small companies undergoing rapid growth and change. My strength lies in forging strong relationships with clients. Working for highly successful organizations such as Intel Corporation and numerous venture-backed start-ups has resulted in a pragmatic approach to problem solving and conflict resolution, which produces practical solutions and effective results. Prior to co-founding Affogato, I spent fourteen years at the Melita Group, where I built and led the HR Consulting practice. My years at Melita afforded me the opportunity to become a solutions-oriented consultant to companies across many industries. At Melita I built and worked with an exceptional team of consultants and clients. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from San Jose State University and am certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). I am an avid hockey fan, a lover of wine and food and enjoy everything that the outdoors has to offer on the Mendocino coast. Contact Lisa lisa@affogatohr.com 408.933.3020 x701 |
