Strategic Leadership for HR Operations at Bodwé
Bodwé Professional Services Group has announced a significant addition to its executive team with the appointment of A. Chamberlain, SPHR, SHRM-CP, as chief of staff. This move is set to reinforce Bodwé’s commitment to building a scalable, people-centric operational infrastructure. As the organization experiences rapid growth, especially in professional services and federal contracting, Chamberlain’s expertise in HR operations will play a crucial role in steering Bodwé’s expansion.
Chamberlain’s Role and Vision
Chamberlain will directly oversee human resources, information technology, finance, and operations, reporting to Jeremy Berg, AIA, NCIDQ, LEED AP, the chief operating officer. Her main focus will be on optimizing HR operations to strengthen cross-functional collaboration and support the company’s strategic initiatives. This appointment arrives at a pivotal moment as Bodwé continues to expand its architecture, engineering, and professional services portfolio nationwide.
Berg expressed enthusiasm about Chamberlain’s arrival, noting, “What excites me is the exceptional blend of strategic vision, operational discipline, and people-centered leadership she will bring to Bodwé. Her extensive experience building scalable systems in highly regulated federal contracting environments, combined with her ability to lead organizational transformation, makes her the ideal person to guide and strengthen collaboration across the organization.”
Extensive HR Operations Experience
With over 15 years in progressive leadership roles, Chamberlain’s background is rooted in developing and scaling HR operations for regulated, multistate, and global organizations. Most recently, she served as vice president of human resources at a federal defense contractor, where she was instrumental in driving workforce strategies that supported rapid company growth—from 30 to 109 employees within a year. During this period, she implemented audit-ready HRIS, payroll, and compliance systems, ensuring operational quality and regulatory adherence.
Chamberlain’s career also includes work as a fractional HR executive, supporting organizations across technology, artificial intelligence, healthcare, manufacturing, and private equity. Her contributions encompassed organizational design, HR operations implementation, workforce restructuring, and both multistate and international payroll oversight. Additionally, she spent a decade with a national construction firm, progressing from HR generalist to vice president of human resources within a multi-billion-dollar organization.
Commitment to Growth and Mission
Reflecting on her new role, Chamberlain shared, “I am honored to join Bodwé Professional Services Group as chief of staff. Bodwé’s mission-driven approach, commitment to growth, and focus on building long-term value for the Pokagon Band deeply resonate with me. I look forward to partnering with leadership and teams across the organization to strengthen operations, support strategic initiatives, and help position Bodwé for continued success.”
