I was very lucky to have worked with Sandy for 9 years! Throughout this time, I learned so much from her guidance and her wealth of knowledge in employment legislation, global mobility and HR best practices. Sandy understands the business and always listens first before providing practical recommendations. She always has great insight on the best course of action for challenging situations and is never phased by issues that come along the way. She has strong communication and influencing skills which is vital as a HR practitioner. Sandy is a role model HR leader where everyone on her team always wanted to work hard and do their best. She continues to be my mentor to this day!

Sandy and I worked together on corporate management teams at Amec for more than 10 years and for the last two years, when I became President of the Mining & Metal Americas team, she reported directly to me in her continuing role as Vice President, Human Resources. Sandy performed at the highest level as a HR professional. She understood our business and the critical role that managing people has within it. Her management of all aspects HR, from recruiting, managing benefit programs, payroll & incentive programs, domestic and international mobility to delicate labour law issues was always executed efficiently, effectively, confidently and with intelligence. She brought answers and recommendations to issues and required minimal guidance to deliver on agreed objectives. Sandy always demonstrated compassion for our people and juxta positioned that with delivering to company guidelines and objectives. Sandy is a delight to work with and to work for as demonstrated by the high performing team she assembled to administer our Americas wide HR function responsibilities. She is an excellent communicator, intelligent, personable, a hard worker and always available. I highly recommend Sandy for any senior management role in HR.
