Executive Overview

After 15 years in a number of HR roles across Schneider Electric, in April 2020 I was appointed Chief Human Resources Officer. It’s truly humbling to be entrusted with the lead role of a function as progressive and engaging as ours. Being an HR professional was an early calling in my career. Before joining Schneider Electric, I gained experience at various international companies which were maturing their operations in China. In Schneider Electric, I found a company that embraces the spirit of being ‘the most local of global companies’. This is one of the attributes of our success, with a diverse workforce operating in over 100 countries with strategically placed geographic hubs, closer to our customers and employees. Having led HR teams in Businesses, Sales organizations and Rewards, my most recent position was SVP HR Services and People Strategy. As the engine of HR in a global company, it gave me tremendous insights into HR Tech, future trends and market practices. On a personal level, I enjoy being part of a high performing team, leading transformation and digital challenges! At Schneider Electric, we are proud to lead the digital transformation of energy management and automation for our customers. We Power and Digitize the economy and we base this on our firm belief that Power and Digital – together – create the foundation of life, education, progress and performance.
