Cameron Executive Network Mentor

Scott Sherman, EdD

I recently retired after a 30+ year career in Human Resources. I have worked in both the Clinical Research and International Non-Profit sectors. My leadership roles during my career have included Manager, Director, Vice President, and Chief HR Officer (CHRO). During this time, I was an active member of the Executive Teams which included strategic planning, compliance and risk management, financial budgeting and stewardship, and board liaison roles. Specific to Human Resources, I was accountable for leading all areas of Human Resources including Talent Acquisition, Onboarding, Benefits and Compensation (Total Rewards), Compliance (Employment Practices), Learning and Development (individual, team, management, leadership), Succession Planning, Diversity and Inclusion, Change Management, Emergency Response, Safety and Security, Cyber Security, Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), and Employee Relations. Outside of my career, my time and energy have been focused on my wife (married 31 years) and two adult children. My hobbies and interests include playing golf, swimming, gardening, serving in my local church, and now being contributing member of the UNCW community. Being quite active in the colleges I attended while pursuing my degrees (i.e., Resident Advisor, Hall Director, Area Coordinator, Graduate Assistant), I always knew when I retired I wanted to remain active and find ways to give back by sharing my knowledge, skills, experiences, and commitment to learning, mentoring and coaching.
