Middlebury College

" The single biggest competitive advantage that our organization has is the people who work here. As the Executive Vice President of Human Resources, I have the principle leadership responsibility for “people” – recruitment selection, development, benefits, labor relations, safety, social responsibilities and a host of other duties. The role of HR really should be titled CEO – Chief Employee Officer! Like most Middlebury graduates during the 70’s, I had little idea what a Liberal Arts education would enable me for employment. The on-campus programs provided a wide assortment of opportunities to interview with quality organizations across multiple career paths – sales, marketing, and operations. The On-Campus Recruitment Programs are coordinated by the Human Resource function and my career unfolded because it sounded “cool” to go from college to college chatting up students. Little did I suspect that an interview on a Wednesday afternoon would be the beginning of a 30+ year career. " - Bruce Johnson , EVP, Human Resources, C&S Wholesale Grocers
