Today Verizon Communications (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) announced the
appointment of Sam Hammock to Executive Vice President and Chief
Human Resources Officer of Verizon, effective December 1, 2021. She
will report directly to Hans Vestberg, Verizon Chairman and CEO.
“When you think about the investments we have made to strengthen
our networks and create world-class experiences for our customers,
the one constant driving our business forward is the need for great
people. The main difference between a good organization and a great
one always comes down to talent,” said Vestberg. “Sam Hammock is a
proven HR leader with the experience and vision to lead us in a
transformative time for our industry. You can’t build the future
with yesterday’s skills, and Sam will make sure we are ready with
the best talent to capitalize on our next stage of growth.”
Before joining Verizon as the Senior Vice President of Global
Talent, Sam spent 14 years at American Express, most recently as
the Head of Talent and Learning, where she supported the
transformation of their HR function by building and integrating
their talent ecosystem. She also implemented a culture of
continuous learning to reinforce talent readiness across American
Express.
“It takes more than technology and the best networks to deliver
on our purpose as a company. It takes the right talent to make
what’s next, our reality right now,” said Hammock. “We are at a
pivotal time in our business where the promise of a 5G-connected
world has arrived. However, our ability to remain at the forefront
of the industry rests entirely on unlocking the full potential of
our workforce. Our people are our greatest asset, and I am so
honored to work alongside our leaders to ensure Verizon continues
to attract the best and brightest talent in the industry.”
Hammock will be responsible for all aspects of Verizon’s HR
practice, including attracting, engaging and retaining talent to
maintain Verizon’s stronghold as a network leader and deliver on
the promise of 5G. Additionally, she will lead learning and
development and continue to foster an inclusive culture and diverse
workforce.
