“I’ve had the privilege of working along side Dorothy on two separate occasions over the last several years. Dorothy is an incredibly talented and insightful HR leader, one who is adept at both strategy and execution, and a wonderful business partner for CEO’s, CFO’s and management teams alike. Organizational redesign, talent planning, comp and benefits, recruitment, culture, engagement, HR analytics, relationship building employee advocacy … I could go on and on about the things I’ve seen her excel at time and time again. I’ve partnered with Dorothy through acquisitions and significant organizational transformation, and have seen her navigate through them with professionalism and grace, learning to trust her expert advice and ability to get things done. I’ve seen her in short order become an immensely trusted advisor to CEO’s with her genuine nature and pragmatic, non-arrogant approach. She has also been, and continues to be, an invaluable mentor to me over the years when I needed sound career and business advice, and is someone I credit for teaching me the value of culture and engagement within an organization. Dorothy brings incredible energy and passion to everything she does and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. ”
