Justine Canessa — HR Manager
As a Strategic HR Business Partner supporting a high-volume distribution center, I specialize in aligning people strategy with operational goals to drive performance, engagement, and business results on the front lines. I thrive in fast-paced, complex environments where leadership development, employee relations, and organizational agility are critical to success. I partner closely with site leadership to develop frontline and mid-level leaders, foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, and manage through change—whether it’s workforce planning, process transformation, or building engagement strategies that stick. With a deep understanding of both the people and the business, I bring a proactive, solution-oriented approach to HR that balances strategic priorities with day-to-day execution. I’m passionate about creating workplaces where leaders are empowered, employees are valued, and business outcomes are achieved through people.
