As the Head of HR for the Pharmaceuticals Americas division at Bayer, Kristen led the team of 22 HR Business Partners who managed the 7,000 employees that drove the $6B business. While occupying the same role at the $3B Consumer Health North America business, she oversaw 10 HR Business Partners managing 1,600 employees.
