Major has been with HPE since 2011, most recently serving as
senior vice president of human resources (HR) and chief talent
officer. Over the course of her career with HPE, Major has led HR
for HPE GreenLake, HPE Aruba Networking, the HPE Transformation
Office, and HPE’s chief technology officer. Prior to joining the HR
function, Major was the chief employment counsel for the company
for eight years as part of the Operations, Legal, and
Administrative Affairs organization.
“Having worked in several different parts of the business over
the last 12 years, Kristin has strong relationships and a deep
understanding of the needs and opportunities across the
enterprise,” said Neri. “Our team members love her, and she shares
my passion for culture and creating an environment where our team
members can thrive.”
“This really is my dream job. I love this company and I care
deeply about our team members and about making their lives better –
both professionally and personally,” said Major. “My top priority
is building high-performance teams and cultivating and supporting
highly engaged leaders who enable team members to take on new
challenges, learn, and grow in a healthy, inclusive
environment.”
Before joining HPE, Major was a labor and employment counsel at
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in Palo Alto, California.
Major holds a law degree from Georgetown University and received
her undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona.
Major succeeds Alan May, who held the CPO role since joining the
company in 2015. During his tenure, May transformed HPE’s Human
Resource function to foster innovation, raise the bar on talent,
increase diversity, introduce industry-leading benefits, and
advance culture and business results. He played an instrumental
role in the 2015 formation of HPE in its separation from HP, and
guided many subsequent transformation efforts, spin-offs and
acquisitions. May will remain with HPE to support the
organizational integration of Juniper Networks, which HPE announced
earlier this month it intends to acquire.
“Alan has been a trusted partner to me since I assumed the role
of CEO in 2018, helping to advance our strategic priorities around
culture, innovation, and transformation. Together we have made HPE
a fantastic place to work that cultivates extraordinary leaders
like Kristin,” said Neri. “Alan will play a critical role in the
expected integration of Juniper to successfully onboard our new
team members into the HPE family while strengthening our culture
and future.”
