As the Associate Vice President of Human Resources, Eduardo led the development of several key strategic programs at Saint Mary’s College. During my time as Provost, Eduardo played a key role on the President’s strategic planning task force, co-chairing the Mission integration and Affordability / Workforce Planning groups to establish key institutional priorities. Eduardo was also a strategic partner to my staff, providing organizational development, executive coaching and strategic planning for several schools and departments.

Eduardo was instrumental in helping me develop a strategic planning roadmap for the Enrollment Management Division at Santa Clara University. He served as an executive coach and trusted organizational ally to help me design, facilitate and identify a strategic planning roadmap with three (3) strategic units within my organization. They included Admissions, Financial Aid and One-Stop Enrollment Services Center. Eduardo led the needs assessment, design and facilitation of several strategic organizational transformation initiatives that included cross unit communication and collaboration, strategic campus partnerships, technology enhancements and diversity, equity, and inclusion. He also provided executive coaching and guidance in helping me communicate a enrollment management vision, mission, core values and key strategic priorities for the next 3-5 years. I without reservation, wholeheartedly recommend Eduardo to any institution looking to design, facilitate and deliver a strategic planning process and focused priorities designed to transform and align an organizational culture.

Eduardo built a stellar reputation as the Associate VP of Human Resources during his time with the college. He served as an executive coach and trusted organizational ally to many cabinet member leaders. Eduardo led the development of several strategic organizational transformation initiatives as part of the President’s strategic planning taskforce. He implemented several cabinet level strategic planning initiatives, including the development of a campus-wide workforce planning model that generated several million dollars of labor cost savings in its first year of operation.

Eduardo is a pioneer and architect in the field of diversity and inclusion. As a former Chief Executive Officer, I partnered with Eduardo to build the diversity and inclusion programs at Silicon Graphics. Eduardo and I worked together to launch the African American Network at Intuit and assisted in coaching and mentoring several African American executives. Eduardo in collaboration and partnership with senior executives at Intuit helped design and build an end-to-end D&I strategy that is considered by many to be a model in corporate America. Eduardo would be a value-added asset to any organization looking to start or enhance their HR and inclusive excellence strategic initiatives.

Eduardo’s unique blend of leading-edge best practices and skillful change management techniques serve as a great resource for any company looking to start or take their diversity and inclusion efforts to the next level. He was instrumental in helping Intuit design, develop and build the foundation for our diversity and inclusion strategy that is considered by many to be best in class. I had the privilege of working alongside Eduardo and a group of Intuit senior executives as we endeavored to architect a tops-down and bottoms-up D&I strategy that accelerated business outcomes while cultivating an engaged and inclusive work environment. Without reservation, I enthusiastically recommend Eduardo to any company who is looking to start or evolve their diversity and inclusion efforts.

If I were building a team for a college turn-around the first call I would make would be to Dr. Hernan Bucheli. He makes things happen. He understands the urgency of getting enrollment management right. He knows that, in the current competitive environment, one must identify and respond immediately to monthly, weekly, daily and hourly trends. The breadth of his experience across enrollment management, financial aid, student success marketing and academic areas allow him to see the big picture making him an invaluable resource to a president or board of trustees.

Dr. Hernan Bucheli is a visionary who helped develop The Peninsula College Fund's (PCF) first strategic plan which helped grow the organization to thrive and sustain its mission to serve more first generation low income students attend and graduate from college and be career ready. Hernan’s vision and passion on the board helped PCF to award over 600 scholarships with an average 6-year graduation rate of 88%! He continues to assist PCF as an active strategic leader as Emeritus Board member. All of us at PCF are indebted to Hernan for all he has done for our successful organization!

Dr. Hernan Bucheli's experience and expertise allowed him to quickly analyze our situation, identify what had to be done to correct our course, and to make specific recommendations for change leading to measurable progress. His dynamic approach encouraged us to continually assess and make adjustments throughout the cycle. As a result of Dr. Bucheli's efforts, we were able to achieve our best enrollment results in years. Dr. Bucheli's action-oriented approach to enrollment work brought new energy to our enrollment efforts.
