Julie's leadership experience covers the spectrum from small, localized teams to cross-functional, enterprise-wide international divisions. Ms. Kearney has experienced first-hand the challenges of managing remote teams in multiple time zones and diverse cultures.
Leading the people function and as a member of the senior executive team, Julie managed multiple merger and acquisitions events. Responsible for the people-related functions, she gained perspective by being the acquiring company, and the company being acquired. These unique experiences became a training ground for learning how to be an emotionally intelligent leader, create open and transparent communications, and prove the servant-leadership approach.

Julie has designed, developed, and led leadership development programs, teambuilding initiatives, succession management, and change/transition programs.
