Todd Turner - Senior Vice President

Todd joined Hemsley Fraser in 2006 and is very much enjoying his new responsibilities as Senior Vice President of Hemsley Fraser Americas. Todd divides his time between business strategy, marketing, and managing client engagements. Under his leadership, the company has established a growing presence in the US federal government sector, leveraging the company’s core learning and development background to build a broad portfolio of services that includes training, human capital consulting, and strategy support.

Todd believes strongly that the power of leadership starts with the ability to articulate a clear and compelling vision and that ensuing results are most achievable in an environment where individual contributors are clear on their roles, have a strong sense of belonging to the team, and feel fully supported as they execute against their goals and objectives. A big believer in working smartly, Todd advocates strong communication skills and motivation techniques to bring about rapid success. Fun is always a part of the equation! Todd’s thoughts and experiences on leadership have helped to shape Hemsley Fraser’s emerging leadership development concept, Radiant Leadership. Radiant Leadership outlines 5 critical roles (Pacesetter, Strategist, Collaborator, Supporter, and Achiever) and the necessity for today’s leader to balance each of these competencies.

On the global scale, Todd serves as a member of the Hemsley Fraser Global Strategy Board and assists in direction setting and business planning for the company. He has also led several global project teams to foster internal process change and to support the company’s international expansion efforts.

Before joining Hemsley Fraser, Todd served in the US government’s prestigious Senior Executive Service, the top tier of career civil servants. As Director of Human Capital Management for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the US government’s third largest federal agency, he was responsible for leading all aspects of the agency’s human capital operation, including human capital strategy, policy, training and development, and HR information technology. Prior to DHS, Todd served as the Director of Human Resources Enterprise Solutions for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, with responsibility for all human capital information technology, payroll services and organizational development , including design and implementation of a web-based ERP system for the 160,000 employee organization.

In his spare time, Todd enjoys spending time at the beach with his two West Highland Terriers – Angus and Barnes.
