RelaDyne, a national lubricant distributor and provider of fuel, diesel exhaust fluid, and industrial reliability services, recently announced the appointment of Leigh Dobbs as the company’s next chief human resources officer, effective July 13.

Dobbs most recently held the same title at Gypsum Management & Supply, a national distribution company with more than 300 locations and 7,000 employees. With Gypsum, Dobbs guided the company’s HR function through its acquisition and integration into SRS Distribution and The Home Depot. Her experience spans HR organizational structure, process improvement, labor relations, compensation, benefits, HR systems, risk and compliance, leadership development and associate support.

As chief human resources officer for RelaDyne, Dobbs will lead the company’s HR function, including talent management, leadership development, total rewards, associate engagement, organizational effectiveness, workforce planning, labor relations, benefits, HR systems, and HR-related risk and compliance.

“Leigh brings a strong combination of HR leadership, operational discipline and business experience to RelaDyne,” RelaDyne CEO Eric Royse said in a news release. “Her experience supporting large, distributed organizations, including publicly traded and national distribution companies like GMS, is directly relevant to our business. She has helped teams navigate growth, change, acquisition integration and process improvement, and that experience will be incredibly valuable as we continue to strengthen our HR organization, build our culture, support our associates and position RelaDyne for the future.”
