Bio
LinkedIn User
Gertie is savvy, smart and forward-thinking HRBP who has a wealth of knowledge in her field. As a manager, Gertie has a hands-on approach to career coaching, mentoring, and empowering those around her to do more. I am always in awe of her ability to command a room and get people on board with her ideas. Through her mentorship I successfully passed the CPHR exam, and I will always be grateful for her continuous knowledge-sharing and expertise on human resource best practices.

Gertie’s bubbly personality, professional tact, and knowledge of HR best practices are a lethal combination. As her colleague for over a year, I saw first-hand her rise to HR Business Partner from implementing an HR department from the ground up in a challenging SaaS environment. She mentored others in their careers, including company executives, established protocols and policies for employee morale, human-capital management, and recruitment, and established herself as trusted confidant, not to mention the life-blood of the office. She’s simply great.
