Holly Thauwald

Chief Human Resources Officer

Holly earned a Master of Arts at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, a Bachelor of Arts at Gustavus Adolphus College, and was certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources through the Society for Human Resource Management. An accomplished Human Resources leader with more than 30 years’ experience in training and employee development, she has served as an HR Director and corporate Training Manager at both nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and worked as an independent management consultant.

Holly enjoys consulting with managers on teambuilding, staff development, and performance management. Attracted to Aspiranet because she wanted to work for an agency with strong corporate values that served children and the community, she joined the senior leadership team in 2007. In 2016, she was nominated as a finalist for the annual CHRO of the Year award at the HRO Today International Conference.

“What I like best about working at Aspiranet is our staff and their dedication to the agency vision and values.  While each of the Aspiranet core values resonates with me, respect is most important in building effective teams that value the diverse strengths and perspectives of our incredibly talented and committed staff.”
