Working with Benchmark Hospitality International following the acquisition of the CIBC Leadership Centre in King City from CIBC by a Private Operator, I established the HR function from scratch. This involved the development, introduction, implementation and delivery of all HR processes, policies, services and systems to support this full service Conference Centre.
