As the Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Wayne was a key executive team member. He also served as Chief Compliance Officer.

Prior to Baker Hughes, she was a founding member of Wellbore Integrity Solutions and spent five years as Vice President of Human Resources and Administration of another private equity-backed firm focused on the offshore oil and gas space. She has also held various roles in Oil States Energy Services and Schlumberger, where she was the global Human Resources executive for an entire integration center, which stretched across Europe, North America, and Asia.
