Mary Haddock-Staniland is about sparking positive change, in the corporate world as a highly regarded thought leader and in social spheres as a committed advocate. Mary was appointed as Timely’s CPIO in 2020, the first people and inclusion role at an executive level to exist in New Zealand - the role is now known as SVP of PX, Culture & Inclusion. As a member of the Executive team, her responsibilities include executing & leading organisational development, leadership transformation and communications.   In July 2021, Timely was acquired by Denver based EverCommerce, a global service-commerce platform. Mary will now also lead culture and inclusion programs across EverCommerce in another newly created role, as Global SVP of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). Picture the Venn diagram of warmth, enthusiasm and effectiveness, Mary’s right there in the middle. She has a track record of driving key operational policy and achieving tangible outcomes that benefit people first, and their workplaces second. Make no mistake, the two are linked - with one, comes the other. In addition to her role at Timely, Mary is an accomplished and highly sought-after keynote speaker, panelist and MC who brings the right balance of energy and insight to events of all sizes. She also holds a range of advisory and governance roles, and in 2017 was appointed an ambassador for charitable trust, Lifeline Aotearoa. Mary has been called a force to be reckoned with, her tenacity and work ethic balanced and enhanced by creativity and empathy.
