Bio
Brenda Dargaville
Kristen managed the LSI and Mentor program at Beiersdorf. When I was part of both programs, Kristen supported my progress within both programs, and helped coach me through some key decisions. I would recommend Kristen for any Development role, due to her high level of integrity and desire to see people develop, both personally and professionally.
Keith Power - General Manager HR
Kristen was a member of the HR team for the past 10 years and has been an integral part of our businesses drive towards a constructive, achievement focused culture. Kristen's drive, influence and facilitation skills are more than impressive. Moreover, her ability to engage and coach people at all levels as part of their professional or personal growth has provided the platform for them to develop beyond their expectations. Working with Kristen has been an honour and her positive and engaging personality coupled with her technical skills make her an asset wherever she chooses to go.
