“My 13 year old daughter was so proud that we were afforded the opportunity to partner with H&M for this Head of Employee Relations for America search. This brought a smile to my face,” said Nat Schiffer. “In all seriousness, H&M came to The Christopher Group with a very specific idea of what this role would look like from a chemistry and competency perspective.
