All of us at Tortal Training are excited to welcome Crystalle Ramey as our new VP, Learning Development. When you work with her in the months and years ahead, we know you will be thrilled too.
Ms. Ramey brings impressive and unusual skills to Tortal. Her roots in adult learning actually began when she was a Marksmanship Instructor in the United States Marine Corps, where she served during both the Gulf War and the Somalia Relief Effort. She also brings to Tortal more than 20 years of Corporate Learning & Development experience at companies such as MasterCard International, JPMorgan Chase, Time Warner Cable Business Class and Kelly Services. Most recently, she founded her own company, The Bulb Effect.
She earned an AS in International Business at Westchester Community College, a BS in Organizational Development at Manhattanville College and most recently, a MEd in Instructional Systems Technology at UNC Charlotte. Additionally, she has served two years as the Association for Talent Development (ATD) Charlotte Chapter’s VP of Programming, as ATD President-Elect in 2015, and as ATD President in 2016.
If all those experiences weren’t enough, she is also a comedian, having opened for several nationally touring comedians.
“Crystalle Ramey is a leader who is passionate about creating learning experiences that inspire behavior change,” says Tortal’s President Cordell Riley. “She regularly attends and speaks at conferences on topics that advance the learning profession by empowering learning professionals. We are immensely excited to welcome her to our team.”
Ms. Ramey adds, “My primary responsibilities will be to enhance operational efficiencies among the Tortal development team. In the learning space, that means implementing a consistent learning design and development model that allows us to create impactful learning experiences for our customers in a timely fashion, removing barriers that may prevent us from doing so, and identifying the correct capacity model to identify resources as new business arrives.
“Additionally, I will bridge the activities from the Client Engagement (front of the house) team to the Development (back of the house) team to provide a smooth handoff, to help increase the efficiency with the CE team. My goal is to keep them out there building relationships and doing what they do best!”
Please join the entire Tortal team as we welcome Crystalle Ramey!
