BIC Graphic North America Chief People Officer, Barbie Winterbottom, has been selected as an honoree for the 2019 People First Awards by the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

Winterbottom is a senior professional in human resources, who implemented her “people first” approach at companies like Amazon, HSN and Capital One before joining BIC Graphic in 2018. In her current position as Chief People Officer, Winterbottom and her team have reinvented the HR, now called the People Team, approach to all functional areas with a People, Process, Systems methodology ensuring everything BIC Graphic does is in support of driving positive people and business outcomes.
By transforming the way BIC Graphic thinks about performance and leadership, she has helped the company become more agile and collaborative, creating a foundation of a common language, performance and behavioral expectations anchored to behavioral competencies, which BIC Graphic calls People Powers.
“Our People Powers are at the core of everything we do, how we interact with each other and our customers, how we select new people to join the organization and how we manage the success of those who are already here”, says Winterbottom.
With deep understanding and experience in the talent supply chain, Winterbottom has also moved the organization away from dependency on talent acquisition agencies, reducing the supplier’s agency fees by more than $2 million while bringing in higher-quality talent with improved candidate experience and better retention.
