WOMEN TO WATCH

Sunetta Alexander

Market Director, HR Operations
CHI St. Vincent

I joined CHI St. Vincent eight years ago, and I immediately felt a sense of connection. As St. Vincent’s human resources executive, I oversee employee and labor relations, some talent acquisition functions, human resource operations and employee health for over 4,500 employees. I have spent my career building meaningful and lifelong relationships. I love what I do but I love who I do it with the most.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Best career moment so far

My latest promotion. I truly manifested it during my initial interview as a Sr. Recruiter eight years ago.

Best advice I ever received

1. Connect and build a relationship with someone who is where you’re trying to go. 2. Always show up as your true authentic self.

What I learned from my first job

The importance of teamwork and deadlines. They can catapult you or be your demise.

Nonprofit I wish more people knew about

National: Black Girls Code. Black Girls Code has supported girls of color in tech through coding education and more. Their initiatives go beyond coding to build confidence and connections, community bonds and career paths. Local: Our House empowers homeless and near-homeless families and individuals to succeed in the workplace, in school and in life through hard work, wise decision-making and active participation in the community.
