MidPen Housing has hired Amy Steadman as Chief People Officer to lead the organization’s human resources function and overall people strategy for its team of 600 employees.
Previously, Amy served as Chief Human Resources Officer for See’s Candies, where she designed and delivered a holistic human resources strategy in support of the 100-year-old company’s overall mission. Earlier, as Chief People Officer for ABD Insurance & Financial Services, she oversaw the building of the company–with an award-winning culture–from a founding group of 129 to more than 400 employees and, when the company merged with Newfront, co-led aspects of change management, including the integration of cultures, work streams, and operational platforms.
She holds an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and earned Senior Certified Professional and Senior Professional in Human Resources certifications from the Society for Human Resource Management.
“I’m excited to welcome Amy to MidPen as a strategic leader and dynamic thought partner,” said Matthew O. Franklin, MidPen Housing’s President and CEO. “Our team members are the heart and soul of how we carry out our mission, and as MidPen has grown exponentially, our workforce has become even more distributed and diverse. With Amy’s leadership, we look forward to building out a robust people strategy to enhance our ability to attract, retain, and develop the strongest talent to advance our mission.”
