Leading with passion.

Beth is a master multitasker, effortlessly juggling her demanding career at GBQ and her role as a dedicated mom of three. She channels her empathetic, competitive, and problem-solving nature into both her work and family adventures, whether at home in Powell, Ohio, with her husband, Chris (whom she met at GBQ), on hiking trips out west, or participating in her kids’ activities.

 

Starting with her first summer internship in Dublin, Ireland that took her across Europe, then launching her career as a CPA in the tax department at GBQ, Beth’s diverse professional journey has evolved into her HR role today, enabling her to consistently demonstrate her passion for leadership, workplace culture, and employee relations.
