Lorraine Blackman brings nearly 20 years of human resources and operations experience, including in fast-growth environments. Her strong expertise in change management and HR strategy will be critical as she leads all aspects of human resources recruitment, training and retention at the Milford site and drives the U.S. integration. She will work closely with the senior leadership to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation where employees can thrive. Prior to joining Rentschler Biopharma, Lorraine was Director, Human Resources, North America at a biopharmaceutical CDMO. She previously worked as an HR executive at a variety of firms and has experience building the HR function during a time of rapid expansion.
Karen Savage, Vice President and Milford site head, added: "It is exciting to fill these two 'mission critical' positions with such highly qualified individuals, and I am pleased to welcome both Lorraine and Hemant to Milford.
