VERSAILLES, Ohio, Dec. 6, 2024 — Midmark Corp., a leader in designing seamless clinical care experiences that millions of medical, dental and veterinary visits depend on every day, today announced Robin Keller as the company’s new chief people officer, effective Jan. 6, 2025. In this role, she will lead corporate communications and events, enterprise learning and organizational development, executive assistants, global philanthropic and corporate giving and human resources (HR).

Keller joins Midmark from Momentive, a $3 billion global manufacturer of silicone and specialty chemicals, where she served as vice president of global people operations and HR shared services and payroll. With over 30 years of experience in talent management, performance development and organizational leadership, Keller has an outstanding track record of driving HR excellence on a global scale.

Robin’s experience spans multiple mergers and acquisitions, leading large, diverse teams in various regions and supporting core HR areas such as recruitment, retention, succession and engagement. With her deep expertise in these areas, she will play a key role in advancing people strategies at Midmark. Robin is deeply committed to performance management and talent development, having worked closely with boards and in areas such as corporate communications, corporate giving and environmental health and safety (EHS). She also served as vice president of global HR operations for Hexion in Columbus, Ohio.

Jon Wells, president and CEO of Midmark, said, “Robin brings a wealth of experience in global HR leadership, talent development and organizational transformation. Her strategic vision and proven track record in driving high-performance cultures will be instrumental as we continue to evolve and expand. Wells continued, “At Midmark, our vision to transform healthcare experiences through innovative design is realized through people—those who understand our customers, strategy, and culture, and who lead us forward. We are confident Robin’s leadership will play a pivotal role in advancing our mission to improve the experience between the patient and the caregiver, and we are excited to see the impact she will have as we work toward a stronger future.”

Keller holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and education from the Fairmont State University and a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Wheeling Jesuit University.

Keller will succeed Sue Hulsmeyer, who is retiring after nearly 24 years with Midmark. Hulsmeyer, who first joined the company in 2001, has had a significant impact throughout her tenure. Before becoming chief people and administrative officer, she served as vice president of human resources and corporate communications, where she played a key role in aligning and developing the organization through areas such as communication, professional development, recruitment, total rewards, safety and change management. Additionally, Hulsmeyer served as assistant secretary to the Midmark board of directors and as a management representative on the compensation committee.

Wells shared, “Sue has been a cornerstone of Midmark’s leadership for many years, and her impact on our culture, our values, team development and empathetic, people-first approach has been immeasurable. She has been a respected leader, valued mentor and trusted strategic voice at Midmark.” Wells continued, “We wish Sue all the best in this new chapter of her life and thank her for her dedication and positive influence on Midmark.”
