Patterson Companies (NASDAQ: PDCO) today announced two new
additions to the organization’s leadership team with the promotion
of Samantha Bergeson to Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) and
the hiring of Tonya Barber to the role of Director of Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion (DE&I).
Bergeson joined Patterson in 2013 and has held several human
resources leadership roles within the company, most recently
serving as Vice President of Human Resources. She will join the
executive leadership team and report to Patterson Companies
President and CEO Don Zurbay. Bergeson will be responsible for the
company’s human resources strategy, specifically focused on
culture, compensation, talent management, organizational alignment,
employee development, diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Samantha is a proven and highly respected leader within
Patterson,” said Zurbay. “She has consistently demonstrated her
ability to deliver results; she knows our business and deeply
understands our culture and values. I am confident that she will
further strengthen our team and business. I look forward to working
with Samantha more closely as we seek to build momentum, advance
our strategic priorities, and continue to create shareholder
value.”
Bergeson holds a Bachelor of Science in human resource
development from the University of Minnesota. She also completed an
executive program from the Carlson School of Management through the
University of Minnesota. Prior to Patterson, Bergeson held HR roles
at CenterPoint Energy and Rasmussen College.
“Patterson has been an amazing place to fulfill my passion for
empowering people over the past 10 years,” said Bergeson. “It’s an
honor to serve the nearly 8,000 team members at Patterson as the
CHRO and work with our leadership to continue creating an
exceptional employee experience.”
In her new role as Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,
Barber will lead the organization’s efforts to educate, raise
awareness and embrace Patterson’s culture of bringing an employee’s
authenticity to work each day. Barber brings over 25 years of
experience to Patterson, recently serving as Senior Director of
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with UnitedHealth Group.
“Over the past several years, Patterson has focused time and
energy on DE&I initiatives and celebrating the uniqueness of
our employees,” said Zurbay. “Tonya brings a wealth of relevant
experience to our organization and a track record of success in
leading global organizations toward fostering a culture of
togetherness. We are excited to have Tonya join the Patterson team
and to continue building on our existing DE&I foundation.”
“DE&I isn’t a program or a campaign; it is something that is
woven into the fabric of any successful organization,” said Barber.
“Patterson is a company that values its people and has invested in
creating, retaining and celebrating diversity at every level. I’m
looking forward to strengthening these initiatives and continuing
Patterson’s efforts to foster an environment that supports all
people and communities.”
