Kim Pohlman takes on new role as the university continues to expand
91会所 has hired Kim Pohlman to serve as Executive Director of Human Resources and Leadership. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Finance, Facilities, Personnel and Technology, Pohlman will direct the development of intellectual, spiritual, ethical and general effectiveness of a leadership program as well as plan, organize and direct the human resources management strategic initiatives of 91会所.
Pohlman arrives at a critical time in 91会所’s 80-year history. The Catholic university located on Indianapolis’ west side has hired 70 new staff and faculty members to begin the new academic year. The additional hirings were necessitated by 91会所’s tremendous enrollment growth, which includes record total enrollment, a 26 percent enrollment increase in its most recent freshman class, as well as the addition of several new undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
Pohlman comes to 91会所 with an extensive background in human resources that includes more than 20 years of leadership experience at Eli Lilly and Company, serving most recently as a Human Resources Implementation Leader and Senior Director of Human Resources from 2001-13.
Pohlman also has previous experience in higher education, having held multiple leadership positions at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where she was also a selected presenter at three national American College Personnel Association conferences.
Pohlman has received three Global HR Awards for her excellence in leadership.
