While advising executives on selection, succession, and mentorship, Heidi finds her greatest joy in unveiling the latent potential within employees and seeing their full potential realized.
With a summa cum laude bachelor’s and master’s degree in visual communications, Heidi’s early career was a mash-up of media and executive assessment. Since 1994, Heidi has conducted, reviewed and reconciled thousands of individualized candidate and employee assessments. In 2020, she took the helm of PeopleFit full-time as principal.
Building upon the executive leadership tools developed by her father, Glenn Mehltretter, founder of PeopleFit, Heidi harnessed technology to expand and modernize the company’s Talent Mapping and Leadership Scan Assessment tools.
Her visual communication roots led her to develop strikingly comprehensible data-reporting graphics to succinctly present strategic, enterprise-wide data to time-crunched executives.
Her extensive travels have embedded her within a broad array of cultures and sharpened her appreciation for both the value of diversity in driving organizational success along with the need for an explicit connective framework to allow for optimized execution.
Her work with PeopleFit endeavors to optimize each employee’s ability to give their gifts by not only matching them to roles, but also by shoring up the organization with a connective framework to tie everyone’s work together.
