Chief People Officer

Pacific Biosciences is a biotechnology company manufacturing systems for gene sequencing and real-time biological observations.

Because people power businesses, businesses can only succeed if they empower their people—to learn, grow, and thrive both personally and professionally. My name is Natalie Welch, and I am a Human Resources Executive with a passion for helping organizations succeed through their people and culture. With over 20 years of experience leading HR teams in both Biotechnology and Hospitality, I have proven expertise in talent management, organization planning, and leadership development. HR needs to be a strategic partner, continually increasing its value to the organization and serving employees at every level. Whether managing an onsite or remote workforce, HR has the opportunity to make a significant impact on the people who influence the business - by addressing problems promptly, comprehensively and compassionately. My operating philosophy is oriented around my passion for people, authenticity, openness and kindness. This value system is at the heart of how I lead my teams and interact with others, and it allows me to build real and valuable trust with the employees we serve. ✉ nwelch@pacbio.com
