Bio
Michelle Arthurs, CHRL
I have known Michelina for 12+ years and of those years, worked closely with her for 6+ while at Pivotal. Of all the HR professionals I’ve worked with in my career, Michelina stands out as one of the best. Michelina’s ability to build relationships with all levels: employees, managers, and executives is exceptional. Her ability to learn a company culture quickly, assess the HR needs of the business and then develop, implement or execute the required HR processes and programs is impressive. All this said, I think Michelina’s most notable skill is her judgement. Because Michelina has such a strong HR understanding and background, coupled with innate good judgment, she is able to navigate employee relations and business challenges extraordinarily well. It was a pleasure working with Michelina!
Dean Heckman
I had the pleasure of working with Michelina for just over 3 ½ years. As a company executive that was tasked with building a world class Presales organization, I needed to recruit senior level team members throughout North America, Latin America and South America. Once potential team members were identified and hired, we needed to get them onboarded and enabled as quickly as possible. Michelina was instrumental in helping me accomplish these goals in record time due to the dedication, passion and professionalism she exhibited during the hiring process. We would not have been able to meet our aggressive hiring and enablement goals if it wasn’t for her tireless efforts. She is a true team player.
