Her instinctive understanding of the business and the ability to identify the relationships that needed to be developed and leveraged - and do so effectively contributed to successful projects. Our charter was to support the transformation of the Global Compensation & Benefits function and establish an international C&B strategy, design principles and governance. Critical to success was building close, effective relationships with our Regional- and Country-level HR leaders, establishing credibility as technically sound and experienced Compensation & Benefits partners to their businesses and the subsidiaries they supported. Rose quickly earned that respect – she worked creatively to develop strong relationships and collaboration across intercultural differences. Rose is a skilled compensation practitioner and knowledgeable on employee benefits. I could always count on her to raise issues and present practical, balanced solutions; and I appreciated her direct and thoughtful approach. She works with integrity and has a terrific customer-first approach, drawing out the needs of stakeholders and bridging those with the company’s business needs. Rose was a valuable asset in my organization and a great colleague to others; she was instrumental to the traction and success we gained. I have enjoyed watching Rose’s continued success as she progressed into broader scopes of responsibility during periods of significant business transformation." and "I’ve known Rose for several years, and she was one of my best hiring decisions. She’s a very credible colleague, who builds solid relationships with her stakeholders and peers. She reported to me as Leader for the Human Resources category, having both U.S. and global scope. Complexity increased with our merger which left Rose with more than 50 benefits insurers and HR service providers to manage, all of whom had to re-compete for our business. Rose met this challenge in her usual, practical way. She assessed current-state; then collaborated effectively with internal stakeholders to gain decision and alignment; and she utilized project management techniques to prioritize, track progress and mitigate risks throughout the merger period. Her depth of knowledge in the field of HR – particularly in employee benefits, employment regulations, and emerging trends—was critical to shaping strategy and gaining success. Further, her approach building alignment across teams is a notable strength. Rose had responsibility for supervising and coaching new talent which she did a terrific job at, particularly in guiding performance management. Rose works with high integrity and is also fun to be around. I miss having her on my team and that sentiment is shared by others who have worked with her."
