About
I’m Seth McColley, a seasoned human resources professional with over 25 years of diverse experience across industries like telecommunications, hospitality, retail, and construction. My career has taken me from Fortune 500 companies to smaller organizations, where I’ve applied big-picture strategies to drive growth and empower people. Currently, as Vice President of Human Resources at ITOCHU Building Products Holdings, I lead HR strategies that foster leadership, strengthen organizational capabilities, and align people with business goals. I believe people are a company’s greatest asset, and I’m passionate about building meaningful relationships, empowering leaders, and creating cultures of respect and engagement. Outside of work, I host "6 Degrees or Less," a podcast focused on authentic networking and cultivating professional connections. Guided by the belief that great relationships drive great outcomes, I continue to explore ways to bring people together, both personally and professionally.
