2021 Dentons Davis Brown HR Professional of the Year by the Business Record
2021 Iowa State Ivy School of Business Women in Business Inspiration Award
Careers so often evolve in fascinating and unexpected ways, and mine is no exception. In 1998 I was honored to be recommended for a rotational program at Wells Fargo that exposed me to all the facets of HR work. I spent the next ten years with Wells, progressing through various roles that culminated in my position leading Executive Compensation and Executive Recruiting for the Home and Consumer Lending group. The chance to work in a rapidly growing, more international organization came, and I transitioned to Aviva. When Aviva divested their USA business, I took the oppotunity to pivot to the HR leadership role at Bankers Trust, Iowa's largest privately held financial institution where I led and evolved the HR team through the growth of the business. My most recent corporate role as Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer of American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company, was likewise focused on modernizing the HR function as a strategic partner in an era of growth, leadership transition, and transformation. This experience made me eager to make the same impact across many different industries and companies, which heralded the launch of Human Pivot.
The Des Moines metro community has given me a great career and a fabulous life, so I'm thrilled to be able to give back. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden and Make-A-Wish Iowa, and formerly served on the Board for Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity. I was also 2018 Co-chair of the American Heart Association Heart Walk, and enjoy volunteer activities in support of Wildwood Hills Ranch and United Way of Central Iowa. As a proud member of Des Moines Financial Executive Women (DSM FEW), I have the pleasure of collaborating with other strong female leaders to recruit, retain and elevate women within the financial services industry through mentorship and career development.
