Experience/Background
Roycee’s early career was spent as a Change Management consultant for Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) where she served clients going through mergers, acquisitions or major corporate restructures. In this role, she managed change related communications, re-designed core business processes and job functions and designed, developed and facilitated training to support these changes.

Roycee’s experience at Accenture earned her a human resources leadership role at Accenture’s sister company, Arthur Andersen. At Andersen, she led a worldwide team which researched, developed and implemented a high performance hiring model to recruit and hire professionals in entry level and experienced roles. This method was implemented in the organization globally and was used on university campus and offices all over the world. This process known as Critical Behavior Hiring became the standard for interviewing in Public Accounting. In her final years at Arthur Andersen, Ms. Kerr had global responsibility for the firm’s executive hiring strategy, executive retention and the on-boarding of executive level hires.

Following Andersen, Ms. Kerr was a part of the St. Charles Consulting Group when it was founded and spent five years with the firm leading the talent management practice. Roycee served Fortune 500 Companies and global professional services firms helping them transform their organizations by aligning people strategies, learning solutions and organizational communications with strategic direction.

After 20 years of working on the demand side of the talent equation, in 2007, Roycee moved to the supply side. She became Director of Career Services for Southern Methodist University (SMU) Cox School of Business Undergraduate and Master of Accounting programs. During her tenure at SMU, Roycee designed a career management curriculum and career workshops to provide just-in-time career related instruction to undergraduates. Working with the university’s Business Leadership Institute, she won approval to have the curriculum integrated into a required course for all Cox undergraduates. She was also responsible for creating a university-wide Employer Relations Team (ERT) that focused on creating and nurturing on-going recruiting relationships with hundreds of companies. This team was able to maintain and grow corporate involvement with SMU during the recession. As a member of the ERT she also consulted with companies to help them establish an employer brand, develop internship programs and design recruiting strategies that would attract top talent from the highly acclaimed Cox School of Business.
