Cheryl Gaze naturally embodies a thoughtfulness, empathy, and work ethic that few people can match. In the 2 years that I worked with her at Portland Internetworks she was a tireless advocate for employees at every level of the company. Her pragmatic approach and firm grip on best practices had a lasting positive impact on the company culture and leadership direction. Cheryl was always tapped into important city, state, and federal policies, constantly keeping our company abreast of changes and deadlines. I distinctly recall her preemptively calling meetings with the Leadership Team to keep them informed and committed to action. Any company would be fortunate to hire her, but a company that is wise enough to foster her growth as an HR professional will reap the benefits for years to come. Without hesitation, I’d love to work with Cheryl again.

These days, we hear a lot about leading with empathy. Cheryl embodies this principle. She is kind, patient, sharp, and knowledgeable. During the several years that we worked together, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Cheryl on many projects; most notably, our company's initial B Corp certification and creating a new recruiting page for our website. Working together on these projects demonstrated to me just how committed she is to employee experience and representation. She understands the value of culture and actively engages with employees every day. Whether I needed help understanding which medical insurance option would best suit my needs, or advice on how to navigate a difficult conversation, she has been an invaluable resource. Having worked alongside Cheryl, it's clear that she truly cares about enriching the lives of those around her, and I can attest that her work has surely enriched mine. Her many years of experience coupled with her supportive and empowering leadership make Cheryl an incredible asset to any organization to which she belongs.
