Interview by Jonathan Kersting
Aspirant, a global management and technology consulting firm, announced the hiring of Cathy Goff as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). Goff was most recently VP of HR at Valicor, where she led the successful integration of new employees as company locations doubled.
In this role, Goff will focus on driving company recruiting to keep pace with growing market demand while further strengthening the company’s integrated expertise and enhancing interdepartmental support. This effort is aligned with Aspirant’s intention to maintain an exceptional experience for employees. The organization was recognized by the Pittsburgh Business Times as a Best Place to Work for 2020 and 2021.
As a new member of the growing executive suite, Goff reports to CEO Mike McClaine.
“Aspirant has achieved unprecedented growth because of our commitment to client success. One way we’ll continue to achieve this is through investing in employee development,” says McClaine. “Cathy will guide this critical area. Her demonstrated HR leadership within the M&A and private equity space align perfectly with Aspirant’s entrepreneurial and fast-paced environment.”
Goff is already making an impact. Leadership has announced new policies to increase paid time off, parental leave, additional time off for bereavement and jury duty, and incentives for employee and sales referrals.
