EXEC Adds Former CHRO to Search Staff
February 28, 2019 – The executive search field continues to be a welcoming landing pad for HR executives looking for a career change. Recently, Brazilian executive search firm EXEC expanded with the addition of former HR executive Cintia Bortotto as partner. She will work in the business division focused on leadership advisory.
Ms. Bortotto has more than 24 years of professional experience, including 20 years in the human resources area, with more than 18 years in leadership positions in multinational companies, with a global and Latin America focus.
Previously, Ms. Bortotto was chief human resources officer (CHRO) of IT services and solutions provider Stefanini. In this role, she reported directly to global CEO Marco Stefanini and was responsible for 150 people directly in Latin America in seven countries and indirectly for 17,500 employees. She was also in charge of all HR subsystems: compensation, benefits, people analytics, recruitment and selection, talent management, organizational development, career, HR business partner, training, culture and climate.
Before that, Ms. Bortotto was the global director of organizational development for the Contax Group. Since 2015, she has been dedicated to the cultural transformation of companies preparing them for digital transformation
