Kerri McCullagh

Kerri McCullagh is the Director of People & Culture at hcma, where she plays a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing the people function within the firm. To Kerri, HR is more than just a department, it serves as the vital thread that weaves together the diverse talents, perspectives, and aspirations of every individual within the organization. Her strategic advisory role with senior leaders allows her to influence the firm's direction, leveraging industry trends and best practices to inform the internal strategies that drive hcma forward.

With a deep commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment, Kerri's day-to-day responsibilities are as diverse as they are impactful. She thrives on the challenge of bridging the gap between people and management, fostering open dialogue, and creating an environment where hcma’s team members feel valued, engaged, and empowered to do their best work.

Quick-thinking, adaptable, and known for her ability to remain calm under pressure, Kerri is a trusted confidant and a safe space for employees navigating challenges both personal and professional. Her approachable nature, coupled with her sharp sense of humor, makes her an invaluable asset to the hcma team, where she is not only a leader but also a source of levity and support.

Outside of work, Kerri is an adventurer at heart. A card-carrying member of the "5am club," she starts her day with activities like running, cold dips in the English Bay, or hitting the gym—always something non-work-related to fuel her day.
