Colleagues describe her as "I’ve had the sincere honor and privilege to bring Heather onto my team near five years ago, and I’ve been blessed with her as a key leader on my team given her leadership, her brilliance, creativity, true and dependable partnership, and broad and deep expertise above and well beyond Talent Acquisition. Heather built our talent acquisition team and function, our employer brand, and brought on amazing talent to help drive an impressive hiring machine from near scratch. As an analytical and metric oriented leader, there’s no arguing the impressive accomplishments that she drove, from our time to fill, quality of hire, astonishing incredible candidate experience, intern pipeline, and hiring manager experience in both our tech and non-tech efforts. From an antiquated and skeleton function, she pulled our company into the 21st century with ATS functionality, stream-lined processes, branding, online and offline presence, campus participation, diversity outreach and hiring, measurements, an awesome career page, and overarching strategy. Her contributions and leadership extended well beyond… Heather is a key leader and contributor to all things Talent Management, from onboarding enhancements, talent and performance management assessments, employee relations, employee engagement, enriching our culture, recognition, talent development, organizational design, change management to off-boarding. Heather has stepped in when needed and currently also serves as a senior talent management business partner, well regarded, sought out and appreciated by the business. On the team, and well outside of just Talent Acquisition, she has been a sought out mentor, coach, confident and thought partner across our team. To me, she serves that as well that I’ve relied on and have benefited from. Heather has the rare and incredible balance of being very empathetic, thoughtful, trustworthy, with an incredible and infectious sense of humor, strong emotional intelligence and positive outlook, along with being incredibly strategic, analytical, practical and realistic. She always carries a calm, cool, and collect head even when faced with great organizational change, conflict and chaos. Her judgement is something I always lean on. She’s a true mature and courageous professional, able to balance the needs of the business and the care and well being of our people. Heather stays current on best practices, is comfortable at the executive table, reliable, detail-oriented (I’d say perfectionist, really), and quick to think on her feet. I truly cherish Heather as a wonderful, genuine, bright, good-hearted human being and as a brilliant, rare and honest leader. I’ve been beyond fortunate to have her on my team and help me drive such a rewarding, meaningful, winning culture and HR/Talent Management team that is recognized as a value shop internally, and a great place to work year over year and top-rated place to work from such external organizations as Great Place to Work, Link"
