Findex appoints Kath Nell as Chief People Officer

Leading HR executive Kath Nell has been appointed as chief people officer.

Nell is based in Sydney and has over 20 years in the Human Resources industry across markets including Australia and the United States.

She will provide strategic leadership of Findex's Human Resources function, which encompasses culture transformation, people solutions, diversity and inclusion, employee progression and retention.

"We are committed to investing in our team and attracting the right talent to provide the highest level of service to our clients," Findex CEO Spiro Paule says.

"Kath is a deeply experienced senior executive, and her skillset is well matched to our people agenda and attracting and retaining talented people."

Prior to joining the Findex team, Nell worked for several large organisations operating in complex environments including BlueScope, Campbell Soup Company and NBN Co.

Nell has a proven track record in organisational change and transformation where, during her five-year tenure at NBN Co, she led the company's culture, leadership and diversity uplift, translating data into actionable insights resulting in NBN Co's workforce engagement and performance turnaround.

"It is currently a dynamic job market globally and as Australian employers we need to reframe how we engage with our existing talent and stand out to the next generation," Nell says.

"The Findex leadership team is very much cognisant of this and I am excited to hit the ground running with this talented team.

"I pride myself in providing pragmatic solutions at all levels: the enterprise, executive leadership team, functional, and individual levels, catalysing organisational changes that ultimately make a difference in the long run."
