Before joining Walmart, Morris worked at Adobe for nearly 18 years across a variety of human resources role. Her most recent role at Adobe was Chief Human Resources Officer & Executive Vice President of Employee Experience.
At Adobe, Morris drove innovative workplace policies, including the introduction of expanded family leave, gender pay parity and opportunity parity. And as the leader of the company’s exceptional Employee Experience organization, Morris helped shape Adobe’s unique culture.
Before Adobe, Morris worked as the VP of Human Resources at Accelio, a manager of human resources at Fulcrum Software, a compensation analyst for the City of Ottawa, and an HR Generalist at Rogers Communications.
