Westport Intl EVP: Elite Executive Leadership + Search

Welcome Christina Stroud: Our Leadership

Christina brings more than 25 years of Human Resources expertise in the automotive, engineering, packaging and transportation fields to Westport International EVP. She has specialized in building businesses, which includes everything from start-up companies, turn-arounds, and growth opportunities. She has extensive experience leading organizational transformations through attracting and developing the best talent and aiding in creating a culture of engagement. Working at BMW Manufacturing for 15 years when it grew from 500 employees to more than 7,000 defined her career. She quickly progressed through the company’s management structure and during her tenure managed Recruiting, Employee Relations, HR Operations, International HR, HRIS and Continuous Improvement. Missing the start-up world, she joined a new venture company, Proterra, where they build all-electric city bus-es. Under Christina’s leadership, Proterra grew from 20 employees to 200 where she built the entire HR infrastructure from the ground up. Her next opportunity came with Day & Zimmermann where she supported the Engineering, Construction and Maintenance division. Once again bitten by the growth bug, she joined as the Corporate HR Director for a third-party packaging company in Greenville named Multi-Pack Solutions. She was responsible for locations in Greenville, Chicago and Milwaukee. Christina holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and a Masters of Human Resources Development, both from Clemson University. Christina enjoys helping companies become stronger by supporting their HR needs so they can focus on their core business. She will bring expertise and experience to your company to deal with your HR objectives and build a strategic plan to meet your company’s bottom line goals. Growing up in a military family, Christina had the opportunity to experience different cultures throughout the world, but as an adult she has chosen to make South Carolina her home. Together, she and her husband, Rick, have four children and she spends most of her free time attending her children’s sporting events, rescuing animals in need, and cheering on her Tigers.
