PlanSource names Sharon Brand as Chief People Officer

Tech company PlanSource has appointed Sharon Brand as its Chief People Officer. She is a strategic HR leader and has over 20 years of experience in heading human resources and talent teams in the technology industry. Prior to that, she was the Vice President of Human Resources at SAP where she transformed the global organisations and accelerated their growth estimates. She was also associated with cloud-based HCM-providers, SAP Success Factors, leading its HR for many years.

At PlanSource, Brand’s responsibilities include running the Human Resources, Talent, and Learning and Development divisions at a global stage. The company has also announced 150+ job openings to hire fresh and highly driven talent to join its team. It also set up its new office in Bengaluru, India, consisting of 100+ team members. 

“I’m excited to join a well-established, diverse, and energetic culture with PlanSource and be part of the Vista portfolio. I admire the focus that PlanSource has put on enhancing the benefits process and experience for HR leaders,” said Brand. “My passion is to develop top talent, continue to foster an inclusive culture, and drive innovation. I’m proud to join a leadership team that truly cares for their employees and families and is investing in attracting and retaining top talent globally.”

When she was working at SAP, she was a strong proponent of enhancing and advocating DE&I efforts. She actively promoted women in leadership roles, pay equality, return to work initiatives and plans, and also developing nascent talents at a preliminary stage.

Before her stint at SAP, she was North America Head of HR for SAP Systems Integrator. She also held leadership positions in recruiting for ATT Broadband and Sapient.

“I am thrilled to welcome our first Chief People Officer, Sharon Brand, to PlanSource at a time when our company is growing exponentially in the U.S. and India,” said Dayne Williams, CEO of PlanSource.
