TDIndustries (TD), a member of three chapters in Texas, has announced the hiring of Amy Messersmith as chief people officer. Messersmith, who most recently led transformation efforts at Pizza Hut, comes to TD with more than 20 years of experience in identifying and developing strategic talent, employee engagement, HR strategies and processes, and leading teams to reach and exceed financial and talent goals.

"Amy is a welcome addition to our senior leadership team at TD," says CEO Harold MacDowell. "She will be leading a department that has seen immense growth over the past 10 years and has become well-known for its commitment to our ‘Great Place to Work’ culture. We’re happy to have Amy join us in our strategic development of TD’s culture and recruitment efforts."

As chief people officer at TD, Messersmith will manage People Department efforts in each of TD’s Texas and Arizona locations. She will oversee HR support of TDPartners (TD’s employee-owners) including talent acquisition, employment, benefits, training, succession planning, and safety.

"TD's differentiated culture and commitment to people has, for many years, proven to be a key lever in driving strong, consistent business growth," says Messersmith. "It's a special place and I couldn't be happier to join the team."
