Before her return to Prysmian, Trainor most recently served as the leader of HR services and strategy for Heidelberg Materials, Southeast Region. Prior to this, she held roles as Vice President of Human Resources at The SEFA Group where she led the transformation of HR into a strategic business partner and successfully managed the HR integration during the company's acquisition by Heidelberg Materials.
