Stephanie Abbott helps CEOs and executive teams turn strategy into results by building the organizational, leadership and people capabilities needed to support growth, change and long-term performance.
She brings more than 25 years of senior HR leadership experience with Canadian and multinational organizations, including Lockheed Martin, JPMorgan Chase and Amazon.
Today, she brings that experience to organizations that require senior HR leadership without the need for a full-time executive hire, or that require experienced support quickly during periods of change, growth or organizational complexity.
Stephanie strengthens D&DCPD's ability to support organizations beyond workplace compliance and risk management by bringing senior-level HR strategy, organizational development and executive leadership expertise to complex workplace matters.
Her experience helps D&DCPD clients not only identify workplace risks and compliance requirements, but also determine how those requirements should be implemented across their leadership structures, HR systems, workforce planning and day-to-day operations.
This is particularly valuable when a client is growing quickly, restructuring, integrating an acquisition, building an HR function for the first time or strengthening an existing HR function.
Stephanie can support our clients with strategic HR advice, organizational design, leadership development, workforce planning, HR function development, change management and executive coaching.
Depending on the needs of the organization, she can provide strategic guidance, hands-on interim leadership or project-based support.
Clients value Stephanie's ability to build trust quickly, cut through complexity, develop practical solutions and coach leaders through difficult decisions, organizational challenges and periods of significant change.
Together, this allows D&DCPD to provide clients with a more complete approach to workplace protection and workforce management — combining compliance, employee relations and risk management with strategic HR leadership, organizational development and practical implementation support.
