Katie Cullinan

Senior HR executive and CHRO who transforms complex organizations, strengthens leadership capability, and builds purpose‑driven cultures where people can do their best work. Led human capital strategy for multi‑site systems of 15,000+ employees, partnered closely with Boards and CEOs, and delivered measurable workforce and financial outcomes during periods of high‑stakes change. My leadership is centered on five pillars: Board‑Level Human Capital Governance — shaping executive compensation, workforce strategy, and organizational performance priorities. Talent Strategy & Workforce Architecture — building pipelines, succession systems, academic partnerships, and leadership development frameworks. Enterprise Change Leadership — driving M&A integration, reorganizations, system integrations, and LEAN/Kaizen optimization. Culture & Purpose Stewardship — elevating engagement, inclusion, and values‑based leadership across diverse workforces. Executive Coaching & Advisory — serving as a trusted advisor to CEOs, Boards, and senior teams navigating complexity and transformation. I’m recognized for delivering results that matter: reducing first‑year turnover by 73%, improving engagement scores by more than 20%, generating $31M+ in talent strategy savings, and leading the transition of more than 1,000 employees with compassion and continuity during major organizational change. I thrive in environments where leadership, culture, and strategy intersect — and where human capital is understood as a true driver of enterprise performance.
