As a human resources executive, Carmel Galvin has led diversity and inclusion, employee engagement and culture management programs at companies with various languages and cultures throughout the world.

Her human resources career has involved executive leadership and C-suite roles at Autodesk, Glassdoor, Advent Software and Deloitte.

On Friday, KAR Global announced it has named Galvin to its board of directors, noting her more than 25 years of talent and culture leadership experience working with global technology and online sector organizations.

Her addition to the board is effective Feb. 1.

KAR Global chairman and chief executive officer Jim Hallett said the company continues investing in innovation and people, leading to its “evolution into a digitally and data enabled auto tech company."

“It makes sense that we add someone with human resources expertise like Carmel to our board of directors,” Hallett said in a news release.

He continued, “She has seasoned leadership skills that have helped transform companies, and she brings the perspective of a company leader who has worked closely with a board to drive success.”

Galvin for the past two years has been chief human resources officer for Autodesk — a publicly traded 3D design, engineering and entertainment software company.

In that post, she has overseen all people functions across the globe for that company.

Before she joined Autodesk, Galvin performed similar work at Glassdoor, developing and driving the company’s global talent strategy.

In that post, she worked with Glassdoor’s board to establish executive compensation, equity programs and succession planning initiatives.

Her HR career began at IBM in Ireland in 1991.

“At KAR Global, our employees and our board of directors are laser-focused on becoming the leading end-to-end global remarketing solution for our customers,” Hallett said.

He continued, “Carmel can help us continue our journey toward powering automotive marketplaces across the world.”
