Laurie

Laurie

Internal HR Consultant & In-House Photographer

Laurie has an extensive background in all areas of Human Resources. In her 10 year career at PACCAR she held various roles in the areas of recruiting, employee relations, leadership training, employment law compliance and HR management.

As Executive HR Director of PACCAR Parts she worked with the GM and Director team to strategically plan HR initiatives such as succession planning to identify, track and develop high potential employees to fill key business leadership positions in the company.

Laurie is a seeker of sunshine and enjoys being outdoors - when it’s warm. She loves photography and uses her skills in the area both professionally and as a hobby.

“Over 16 years in three organizations with Jeff I observed how he built – and positively leveraged – his expansive network of industry associations with dental professionals and industry players. Jeff personally recruited or managed hundreds of talented sales people into our organizations by identifying the best fit with the targeted market sectors and company culture.  I highly recommend Jeff for making these same connections of talent with organizational needs in his new recruiting enterprise.”
– Tim Mack, CEO of Cadent Holdings and Sr. VP of Marketing at Align Technology
