Bio
Beth Posen, M.I.R.
Heather and I worked together at the Hospital for Sick Children and it was there that I had the opportunity to realize that she is the absolute professional in everything she does. She was able to gain the respect from colleagues and clients in an environment that requires excellence. Heather is extremely intelligent and is able to balance the HR prioritities with the business goals to achieve the optimal outcome. She is a wonderful team member and someone that I have learned from over the years.

Heather is one of those unique "gems in the rough" who combine diverse experience and "street smarts" with technical knowledge and a spike of expertise in People & Leadership practices. Heather has a great work ethic and uncanny ability to connect and build great relationships. The advice, support, and "heavy lifting" she did to support our line of business was noteworthy and greatly appreciated!
