Meet Amy! Since joining H&B in 2015, she has grown through our retail teams all the way to her current role as Director of Marketing. We asked Amy to share her experience along the way.
What inspired you to join Hillberg & Berk, and how has your role evolved since you started?
I joined H&B in 2015, working in retail at the Cornwall Centre in Regina, and haven't looked back since! The reasons I joined the team are very much the reasons I choose to stay—which I think is an amazing thing to be able to say. I was looking for the opportunity to support something deeper and to connect with a community of like-minded individuals who also saw the potential of businesses that do good. Now, working as the Director of Marketing, I know that the person I was in 2015 would be so proud of the work I’ve had the privilege of shaping in my current role.
What opportunities or experiences at Hillberg & Berk have had the biggest impact on your professional growth?
I am so grateful to H&B for defining the really formative years of my career, including my leadership journey. Though it’s not something I previously thought I had the confidence for, I’ve been a people leader for several years now and have discovered it to be one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.
What have you enjoyed most about being on the Hillberg & Berk team?
As much as it sounds cliche, the people at H&B are truly my favourite part! This is where I've met some of my most impactful mentors, friends, and peers. I believe there’s so much power in strong female role models, and this is where I found mine.
What advice would you give to someone considering a career at Hillberg & Berk?
My advice for someone considering a career at Hillberg & Berk is first and foremost—do it!! It's such a unique opportunity to be part of a team with our ability to effect change, shape decisions, and build a global brand. Second to that, I would say to ‘say yes.’ In a growing and entrepreneurial environment, there will always be space for putting your hand up for unexpected opportunities and this is where my most valuable learning has happened.
What is your favorite memory from working with Hillberg & Berk?
One H&B memory that really stands out for me is being able to recognize a group of oncology nurses with Sparkle in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Their reactions were incredible and really reflected why I love this work so much. For me, H&B has represented everything from confidence and growth to perseverance and grit, but the feeling of community is what I'm most grateful for.
