Testimonials

Sherrie String has applied a depth and breadth of business and human capital knowledge to drive the healthcare and human resource strategy of Hackensack Meridian Health or Meridian Health, ranging from leading pre/post human resource merger integration work, to being the senior executive sponsor to drive system wide non-clinical synergies and cost effectiveness, to creating an HR infrastructure and operating model aligned to business objectives, to creating a culture of excellence unsurpassed receiving a six year recognition as a Fortune 100 Best Places to Work.  In doing so, Sherrie was recognized in 2017 as one of the Top 50 Women in Business by NJBiz.  I find Sherrie to be a thought leader in her field, a strong collaborator with leadership, a coach and mentor to others and a leader who drives results.

“Sherrie String served as a consultant and interim CHRO for Beth Israel Lahey Health.  Sherrie led the post-merger human capital integration work for the newly formed BILH for 13 months.  During this time, Sherrie’s expertise was instrumental in driving total reward synergies and savings, in creating executive compensation and benefit solutions, in executive recruitment and selection, in stabilizing and providing HR leadership across the system and establishing the framework and needs for an HCM solution to drive our business forward.  I found Sherrie to be a leader who can lead through change, who can do both strategy and operations and who partners with colleagues to drive solutions and results.”
