Creates new
Compensation & Talent Development Committee for the Board of
Directors to focus on human capital initiatives
Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL) (“Sterling”
or “the Company”) today announced that Kate Sberna has been
appointed to the position of Vice President, Chief Talent Officer
effective January 7, 2019. In this capacity, Ms. Sberna will lead
Sterling’s talent, leadership development, and recruiting
initiatives to create a best in class human capital management
process and support Sterling’s growth.
“As we developed the next phase of our Strategic Plan, which
focuses on driving significant growth, we realized one of our
largest risks was associated with having enough of the right talent
given the tightening U.S. labor market,” said Sterling’s Chief
Executive Officer, Joe Cutillo. “As a result, we have added a Human
Capital element to our strategy, developed this new role and
expanded the role of our Board Compensation Committee to include
Talent Development. We expect that this effort, combined with the
skills and background Kate brings us, will enable Sterling to be an
industry leader in recruiting, training and retaining both new and
existing employees at all levels of the organization. Kate is an
accomplished human resources executive and has a proven track
record of creating people strategies and solutions, building
talent, and leading teams to successfully drive business results.
When coupled with the expanded focus on talent development at the
committee level of our Board of Directors, we are excited to have
Kate’s expertise in building an action-oriented, diverse thinking
culture where current and future employees view Sterling as a
career and not just a job.”
Ms. Sberna brings 20 years of experience building talent and
transforming companies in a variety of sectors – from private
security to energy – having held various human resources leadership
roles with teams and responsibility across the globe. Most recently
she was with Aggreko, a supplier of modular, mobile power, heating,
cooling, and related services worldwide where she held the position
of Global Director of Learning & Talent and led the company’s
worldwide learning and talent function. Kate’s 11 year career with
Aggreko also included roles as the Senior Vice President of Human
Resources for the Aggreko’s Rental Solutions business, and The
Americas division. Prior to this, Kate was Vice President of Human
Resources for Corrpro Companies, a global leader in the corrosion
protection industry, where she helped establish a new operating
model and was responsible for aligning the organization’s human
capital with business strategies.
Additionally, the Company has appointed Craig Allen, previously
Sterling’s Senior Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer
since 2013, to the position of Senior Vice President, Chief
Compliance & Administration Officer, where he will continue to
oversee Sterling’s ethics & compliance program, and Human
Resource operations.
