Human Resources Executive ♦ Strategic Business Partnerships ♦ Creating A Culture of High Performance

Amsted Rail is a integrated manufacturer which provide components and systems for freight cars and locomotives, repair and service, track maintenance, and location and condition monitoring.

As an HR executive with 20 years’ experience leading human capital and labor relations for the Amsted Industries family of companies, I build teams able to deliver programs that align with business goals. With a strong foundation working directly with front-line employees and line supervisors in plants across the world, I integrate our unique employee-owned culture into every program and initiative. In my role as VP of HR for Amsted Rail, I work closely with our executive leaders to craft strategies that translate into on-the-ground performance improvements and tangible cost-savings. Navigating the complexities of unionized work environments, I have worked hard to build respectful relationships with labor leaders and representatives. This, in turn, has enabled us to cultivate an environment that connects plant-level operations to our strategic goals and paves the way for an engaged, respectful workforce. Some highlights from my career include: ▶ Lead HR strategy that reaches 10,000 employees across 28 locations in 8 countries (including complex ownership structures such as joint ventures and state-owned enterprises). ▶ Integral to the development and success of a shared services model impacting Amsted Rail’s 4,500 North American employees. ▶ Realized millions in cost-savings by streamlining insurance and retirement benefits. It has been a wonderful experience to grow along with Amsted Industries and I greatly enjoy developing my own teams for further professional development. As a lifelong learner myself, I strive to provide similar opportunities to my staff and our employees.
