“Zane Zumbahlen is one of the finest HR executives I have had the pleasure to work with in my career. His knowledge, integrity and work ethic have made him successful in many HR leadership roles, and brought a sense of excitement and achievement to the teams he has led, and the clients he has supported. Zane is a leader who puts the client first, and brings a level of energy and enthusiasm that makes him highly respected and trusted. Zane has a wealth of international and multi-BU experience. This affords him the ability to assess issues through a global/cross-BU lens, and develop effective solutions quickly. He readily accepts challenge and does not hold back in expressing insightful observations and recommendations that facilitate clarity, agreement, action and resolution. He is a trusted and inspirational leader who has the ability to build and direct strong teams and accomplish key goals. He is an inclusive leader who builds skills and confidence in younger talent; challenging them with stretch assignments, and supporting them as they grow, develop and achieve. Zane has a keen business-sense that differentiates him as an HR executive, especially in the area of sales.”
