- About Me:
- 25+ years HR generalist with heavy recruiting activity.
Cathy Francis’ career in Human Resources Management has been guided by her uncompromising quest to provide her employer with open minded leadership and flexibility while providing simple effective solutions to human resources and management issues. She credits her success to her ability to think strategically and to translate strategic plans into tactical actions that lead to business success.
After earning her Bachelors Degree in Personnel Management (magna cum laude) from National University, she went on to earn a Masters Degree in Human Resources Development from the University of Redlands. In her never ending search for knowledge, she then earned a professional accreditation as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) from the Personnel Accreditation Institute.
Cathy’s working career includes leadership roles in a variety of industries from 50 to 10,000 employees, from start ups to Fortune 500, bio-tech to hi-tech, healthcare to services, retail to hospitality with multi-site and international offices. While Human Resources has been the common thread of her responsibilities, she prides herself on being an overall business leader as evidenced by additional assignments helping to implement a TQM/CPI program, full responsibility for company facilities and key participant in the development of long term strategic plans.
Recently, she managed all startup Human Resources, Administrative Services, and Facilities functions for all company locations (including three international offices) for a high tech CDMA wireless solutions company during startup phase and through acquisition by a Canadian firm. After this success, she assumed the responsibility for 8,000 employees in 190+ locations across 32 states for a company in the retail/food services industry. Here she established company-wide Human Resources standards across all locations while successfully identifying and addressing cross-location employee relations issues (reduced Employee Relations actions by 25%). Most recently, Cathy has been responsible for more than 100% growth through a series of acquisitions and organic growth for a high tech software applications firm. Taking the firm to over 1,000 employees both domestic and internationally, Cathy set up integration and recruitment strategies to keep the company on track toward achieving their corporate objectives.
