Our New HR Director
We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Katie Steinhaus (pictured above), our Organization Development Manager, to the position of Director of Human Resources. Katie has been with LSI for the past 10 years dedicating her time, energy and talents to the development of our leaders, employees, teams and overall culture. Notably, Katie was originally hired by the LSI Senior Leadership Team to initiate and systematize our ‘Strengths-Based, Servant-Leadership’ culture.

Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with her and we are extremely excited about her new role at the company. Please join us in congratulating Katie on her promotion!
