Biographical Summary

Jeff Rainey, SPHR

I offer over 20 years of solid HR leadership experience within major, market leading FORTUNE
500 companies. My career has provided me with the first hand knowledge and experience of 1st
class HR processes and practices as well as numerous opportunities to use this knowledge and
experience to identify, develop and execute strategic HR initiatives on a Corporate-wide basis to
support business operational goals and objectives.
At FedEx, I was fortunate to be a part of an organization that understands the importance of
people to an organization. Because of FedEx’s strong belief in the people side of the business, I
had the opportunity to learn from a HR structure that is considered to be one of the best. Their
HR processes are consistently recognized as best practices within the HR profession as well as
modeled by other Companies looking for a competitive edge through their people.
Since leaving FedEx to pursue a true HR leadership role, I have been afforded the opportunity to
be a part of major organizations that were looking for someone to help lead the HR function to a
higher level. I’ve spent a large amount of energy identifying, developing, implementing and
managing HR structures/processes that would help better support the Company’s operational
goals and objectives.
My success in implementing and maintaining change was done through a hands-on approach as
well as forging key relationships throughout the organization that fostered support of the change.
In addition to working with front-line employees and management, I have worked with Senior
Management teams to help resolve specific strategic HR issues that resulted in significant
savings to the organization as well as provided more efficient operations and better cu stomer
service.

Bob Alberico – (P) 248/709-6074

Vice-President, Human Resources
Allied Waste Industries
Boss – Dotted Line

I worked with Jeff from 2004 to 2005, approximately for 17 months. Jeff did not leave because
of any problems. We went from a 9 to 5 regions. I had him move from Memphis to Atlanta. We
decided to consolidate one month later. We asked him to go to Charlotte, and he could not
move. He was definitely one of our best Regional HR Managers. Jeff could handle a bigger job
with more responsibility. If I could have I would have brought him with me to Arizona. I do
think he’d do fine with overseas assignments. He was very responsible for a lot of people. He
could easily control down and across Regional Vice-President’s. Has good business skills and is
a real early bird. At his prior company, TRW, was the same. He’s always on the floor before
any bosses and leaves after everyone else does. 10 Billion company, Jeff’s ready. Delivers, clear
communicator. Unusual laugh. He’s a very competent HR Executive. Great follow-up; Fine
job…Technically he is there, . He can get to any level to communicate and manage through the
organization. He understands union avoidance. He can be what I call “the polite
professional”…..and also put in his 2 cents on the table. Holds his ground. Rainey knows how
far to go without crossing any lines. He brought order to chaos.

Development Opportunity: I would have brought him with me at a director level if he could have
moved.

Wayne Bolio – (P) 360/901-0894

Senior VP, Human Resources
Consolidated Freightways
Boss

Jeff has good interpersonal skills. Not rigid, not hung up on anything but getting the job done.
Very flexible. Old line operations at our company. We needed a good combo of diplomacy,
thinking skills and attention to results. He always gets end results and wins. Through every twist
and turn, he wins. Jeff is best I had among his peers. His responsibility was 1/3 of the country,
responsible to the Senior Vice President of Operations. He was very effective. Good
background. Will do anything he can to make it work. We needed him to manage change.
At Consolidated we had difficulty recruiting, convincing people to work. He actively had to
compete for people. Dock, clerical…..everything. He went to job fairs, made a big impact. Has
a 24 x 7 work ethic. Worked across multiple time zones. I never saw him unavailable….never.
Not at home. Always at work.
He’s ambitious. Very good in recruiting, EEO, compliance. (Boss labor atty). He has good
instincts. Lots of training delivery. He would teach every program the first 90 days. Great with
personality. He was very accepted. We left at same time. Company went into Bankruptcy.

Human Resources Manager
Allied Waste Industries
Reported to Jeff

Jeff was interactive with the Corporate Office and with the blue collar workers. Regional…saw
real employees. Traveled a lot over a large region. To any area where we did not have HR
coverage, he took it all on. Where ever he was needed. He was HR support. Provided
education for managers and dealt with grievances. We had lots of management issues. He was
very effective. Employees saw him as positive and would open up to him. He would analyze
problems. People received him well.
Management also received him very well. They looked to him for advice. He hired me. He
convinced me to leave where I was. We had lots of change and we reduced to 5 regions. Folks I
worked with in Region and Corporate respected Jeff. He led employee surveys and worked up
new procedures. We still use all his materials today. FLSA, communications. Any new policy
or law he would train us on. 3 HR managers reported to him. Very hands on, like in Miami
where we could not have anyone.
Jeff is a great motivator. He can train, delegate….great delegator.
He treated me well, I can’t think of anything he could improve on. He was a sounding board. I
could try out any ideas on him. His greatest strength: a great listener. Good advice. People
trust his judgment. I miss him. He was a very good person to work for.

Worked with Jeff

I worked with Jeff for many years in the role of supporting his companies with employment law
and specifically union avoidance. He is one of the best HR executives I have ever worked with.
He was single handedly responsible for thwarting an organizing attempt. He personally worked
the relationships with employees and supervisors and averted a vote. I would recommend him
for any HR generalist role.
