Bio
Lillianna Kuhn
Bobbi is one of the most thorough Hr Directors/professionals I know and had a chance to work with. Her generalist knowledge of HR law, organizational planning, benefits, employee relations, and talent acquisition is extremely impressive. I got to see firsthand Bobbi's attention to detail and knowledge of best practices in all these areas, and how impactful they were to the bottom line at HNW. Bobbi is not only a professional, but has a great sense of humor, ethics, and a big heart. I highly recommend Bobbi and only hope I get a chance to work with her again!
Berta Alicia Garcia Bustamante (She/her/hers)
Bobbi is that rare HR professional who is clearly dedicated to the well-being of the organization. At the same time, she realizes that prioritizing the wellness, engagement and balance of employees is good for business. I've never met a more proactive, thorough or versatile HR director.
