Wolters Kluwer announces that Bill Baker has been promoted to Chief
Human Resources Officer following the departure of
Maryjo Charbonnier, who is leaving Wolters Kluwer to pursue
other career opportunities.
Mr. Baker has been with Wolters Kluwer since 2013, most recently
in the role of Executive Vice President, Global Rewards & HR
Service Delivery, responsible for the design and delivery of a
competitive and compelling rewards strategy as well as the
optimization of HR Service Delivery including operations,
analytics, and technology. During his tenure in this role, Mr.
Baker was the executive leader for an extensive HR transformation
program that included the modernization of the company’s global HR
infrastructure, enabling a deeper understanding of our workforce
through more robust analytics and supporting the talent and rewards
strategies and solutions that are important to our current and
potential employees. Before his most recent role, he served as a
Vice President and divisional head of HR, working with the
leadership of our Governance, Risk & Compliance division.
“I am very pleased that we have a strong leader internally for
the next chapter in HR. Bill has extensive experience that will be
instrumental to drive our ambitious agenda as a company since
talent is a key enabler for realizing our potential. The dedication
of our highly specialized employees is one of our greatest
strengths and critical to our future success,” said Nancy
McKinstry, CEO & Chairman of the Executive Board, Wolters
Kluwer.
Bill Baker is very excited about this new opportunity and looks
forward to serving as the Chief Human Resources Officer. “At
Wolters Kluwer, the talent of our colleagues and the strength of
our teams has been a differentiator in our success. Our customers
depend on us to deliver deep expertise and market-leading tools and
software that make it easier for them to deliver on their own
commitments. To ensure our customers can continue to count on us,
we will remain sharply focused on being a leading employer where
people can be themselves, be innovative, be respected, and be
impactful. Our work matters to many and I look forward to
collaborating with the leadership of the company and my HR
colleagues around the world to keep aiming higher and delivering
for our employees and our customers.”
Before joining Wolters Kluwer, Mr. Baker held a number of
executive positions with responsibility for various HR disciplines
at Guardian Life and Hummingbird/OpenText.
