During his tenure the Company doubled our headcount while lowering attrition significantly, implemented a Learning and Development function where none existed before, moved the HR reporting function out of spreadsheets and into their first real HRIS, and began using market data to support compensation and equity decisions. He has the uncanny ability to maintain an even keel approach to solving problems and always balanced the best interest of the Company and employees as a member of the Executive Committee. His team, his peers, and our employees always found him to be approachable and willing to speak the truth. I learned a great deal by observing Joe sort through people issues along with business issues and arrive at a better path forward. In my 30+ years in Human Resources he is one of the finest leaders that I have had the opportunity to work with.

Joe is able to balance business needs and people strategy very well.
