GINA HARTIGAN

CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER

Gina Hartigan was an integral team leader through Kantata’s merger in 2022, primarily focusing on the people factor to achieve integration success (flexibility, acquire talent, culture, total rewards, OpX, retention). She was transparent with employees and led the charge of bringing together two workforces to form an award-winning culture. In its first year, Kantata was selected by Built In as a Best Place to Work and has held high ratings on Glassdoor, with 96% of employees willing to recommend Kantata to a friend.

Hartigan’s mantra is “when we build a ‘great place to work’ our teams are more productive, engaged, and motivated.” She lives by it daily creating a positive, collaborative culture of excellence built on trust, respect, accountability, and open communication. Under Hartigan’s leadership, Kantata built a culture of feedback focused on quality 1:1 conversations, values-based behavior and social recognition as well as a pulse survey platform. Kantata participation, engagement, and satisfaction scores rank above industry benchmarks across twelve submetrics.

Hartigan ensures Kantata provides a robust learning curriculum to expand employee skills and grow their career and is committed to providing an inclusive environment. Under her leadership, Kantata operates with a framework of flexibility and empowers employees to embrace a wellness lifestyle through their working model preferences.
