Heyda Gaona

Lead HCM Consultant

Heyda Gaona’s favorite thing about her job is the people. She loves having a group of colleagues she can rely on. Having her team as a support system inspires her to deliver the best possible solutions for her customers. 

Heyda is a Lead HCM Consultant responsible for guiding organizations through the process of leveraging, rolling out, and adopting UKG products. She works across various modules and implements Payroll, Time and Attendance, and Benefits Prime. 

Heyda has spent her entire career working in HCM, entering the field after attending Florida International University where she earned two degrees -- one in computer engineering and another in electrical engineering. 

When Heyda isn’t getting inspired by her team at Align HCM, she is offering them food and fitness tips. She’s known around the office as being a foodie and knowing all the restaurant openings and upcoming food events in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she lives. She is also passionate about fitness. Heyda enjoys weightlifting, trains on a regular basis, and has competed at the state level. 

Heyda enjoys her time at home with her two mini Schnauzers (who you might hear if she’s working from home), but she also loves to travel. She has been to over 30 countries and counting, and loves to find the best travel deals to take her on the next adventure.
