“I am excited to lead this team through a transformation with innovative new technology and product solutions,” said Burke. “EQ has long served the best brands in the world, and I am looking forward to helping our team expand our breadth of capabilities and drive significant growth.”

As Head of Transformation and Change, Yvette is responsible for leading multiple change initiatives underway, aligned with the organization’s strategic pillars of service excellence, customer experience, product development and growth. Yvette has extensive experience in global human resources with organizations in the Twin Cities, including LaCrosse Global Fund Services, Curtis Squire, Inc., and most recently, Pavilion Financial Corporation, where she was Vice President, Global Human Resources. She has successfully led enterprise-wide change in organizations focusing on organic growth and growth through acquisition. Yvette has a degree in industrial/organizational psychology and organizational training & development from the University of Minnesota.

“I am excited to be joining the EQ leadership team,” said Bowen. “As we move into our next stage of growth, we are working to ensure that the strategic changes we undertake are best for our clients, best for our employees and advance the market-leading services that we offer as part of the Equiniti Group.”
