Shawn Moren
has over 25 years of senior level HR and business experience in private and
large public organizations in the retail industry. She thrives and specializes in massive change
environments, including high growth and turnaround challenges that require
quick transformation. She has a passion
for change, practicality, and improving the lives of people.
She is
currently the SVP of Artistic Education and CHRO of Regis Corporation where she
is responsible for human resources, communications, and artistic education for
this $1.2 billion retailer with over 40,000 stylists nationwide. During her tenure at Regis, she has increased
revenue by doubling the amount of stylist applicant flow and developing new
commission plans. She also developed a
new digital training platform delivered solely through social media.
Prior to
Regis, Shawn was head of HR at Bluestem Group, where she transformed the
company from being a relatively unknown employment brand to breaking into the
top 20 of Minnesota “Top Workplace” rankings.
She also created a community relations strategy that doubled corporate contributions
and increased public perception of the brand.
When the company entered into financial difficulty she developed a
restructuring strategy that enabled the company to begin paying profit-based
incentives within one fiscal year of the financial troubles.
She spent
much of her career in leadership roles at grocery retailer, SUPERVALU Inc.
where she rotated through all senior level HR roles, including VP, Compensation
and Benefits, VP, Talent Management, and Group Vice President, Human Resources.
While at
Supervalu, she became known for her expertise in divestitures, restructuring,
and acquisitions because of her strategic, collaborative, financially oriented,
and objective approach. At the same
time, Shawn was known for her creativity and innovation in the talent
space. She created an ROI based
succession planning approach, was awarded the Progressive Grocer “Top Women in
Grocery” Award because of talent efforts that improved sales capability, and
introduced performance incentives that drove “above plan” results. As a result of her early career efforts in
building high-potential employee programs, she won Twin Cities Business
Magazine’s “Emerging Leader Award.”
In her early
career, she held positions in labor relations, sales, and employee relations in
large retailers including Best Buy and Ashland Oil.
Shawn holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky and a Master’s of Business Administration from Eastern Kentucky University. She resides in Minneapolis with her husband, Mark.
