We are fortunate to have her experience and talent.”

She has also served in leading HR roles with a global travel and expense management consulting firm and with NetJets where she had responsibilities for employee relations, performance management, succession planning, learning and development initiatives, and additional projects.
She has consulted with many mid-size companies to aid in organizational development, change management, employee engagement and workforce planning.
Thorne has a B.A. degree from Otterbein College in Speech Communication. When she isn’t shooting three-pointers (from a human resources perspective) on behalf of Elevate, she is coaching youth basketball.
