Jonna Mooney, Principal

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 The Netherlands, plus Eastern Europe and Florida.  2023 saw 2 trips of a lifetime:  Spain and Portugal in the summer then Uganda and Kenya in the fall!  Up next:  Paris in the spring and visiting friends in Sonoma Valley
