Her new role is a natural evolution for someone of her exceptional talents. We are thrilled at her many accomplishments in getting here and look forward to those that are sure to come.”

She is responsible for driving the firm’s people management strategy, including talent planning and acquisition, professional development, diversity and inclusion initiatives, benefits and compensation, and more. She also advises senior executives, oversees employee engagement and relations, and provides oversight for the firm’s performance management procedures.
“It’s been a privilege to be part of an amazing group of people and work alongside an incredible leadership team that has supported my career growth through direction, guidance, and mentorship. I’m passionate about helping others reach their full potential and elevating HR as a strategic influencer and driver of business performance and growth,” said McLane. “I’m proud of Seiler’s culture of shared values, transparency, inclusiveness, and active employee engagement, and am excited to continue to help spearhead our next phase of scaling and innovation.”
During McLane’s tenure, Seiler has been named one of the “Best Places to Work” by the San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal, recognized by INSIDE Public Accounting as a “Fastest-Growing Firm,” and ranked a “Top 100 Firm” by Accounting Today.
