As Chief People Officer of Globalization Partners, I will continue my journey in being a mission-driven, people-first business leader with an HR hat. I look forward to working closely with Nicole and the rest of the executive team to scale the company and the culture as we continue to meet the surging demands of remote work across the globe.”
