She is highly regarded for creating and elevating exceptional teams, as well as deftly navigating complex change and crisis scenarios.

"Digital employee experience has never been more important, and we're in a moment in the global workforce where employers that get this right will outpace their competitors," Chambers said. "An effective employee experience is no longer a 'nice-to-have'—it's a must. As a communications leader, I've always been passionate about creating strong, inclusive employee experiences through communications and engagement. The opportunity to combine my passion for employee experience with ControlUp's mission to deliver a superior digital employee experience is a gift. I'm thrilled to join an exceptional team and look forward to telling our exciting story to the world."
