April 03, 2018 // Franchising.com // Deerfield Beach, FL - The Learning Experience®, one of the nation’s fastest-growing Academies of Early Education for children six weeks to six years old, announced today the appointment of recognized human resource executive Traci Wilk as Senior Vice President of People. In this newly created role, Wilk will lead the advancement of human resource initiatives, corporate culture, and workplace strategy for all things people.

“Our internal mantra of ‘People-Passion-Performance’ has always indicated the emphasis we place on the entire holistic ecosystem,” said Andrew Alfano, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Learning Experience. “Culture is not a line item but at the forefront of everything we do. Having had the opportunity to work with Traci at Starbucks, I have great confidence in her ability to elevate our human resources department and add layers of cross-disciplinary expertise.”

She has been highly accomplished in areas of talent planning, change leadership, and people development, shaping high-performance culture for Fortune 500 and major progressive brands. She holds a master’s and professional diploma in Psychology from Fordham University.

“I am excited to join The Learning Experience, a company that is passionate about developing brand vision, values, and creating an elevated employee experience,” said Wilk. “The requirements of workforce advancements have enhanced exponentially and include a greater visceral connection. As my title suggests, I will work directly with all employees and stakeholders to ensure and maximize the alignment of the company with our people’s individual goals and talents and the outperformance of industry at-large.”

Wilk currently resides in New Jersey with her husband, Sam, and two children but is in the process of relocating to sunny South Florida.
