Bio
Lloyd Baker
Michele is the kind of leader everyone wishes they could work for. She leads by example. She combines technical expertise in talent with an infectious passion for growing and supporting people. She believes in people, trusts them to do what they do best, builds them up with praise, and builds them even higher with candor and care. She collaborates; she persists; she extols; she gives. But most of all, she leverages an exceptional EQ to cultivate the humanity and dignity of every individual. Michele is more than an HR leader, she’s a talent creator and exporter. And while I’m fortunate to have once called Michele my manager, I’m even more grateful to call her a trusted colleague and friend.
