Milestone names Hardip Sohi-Bains as chief people & culture officer

COPENHAGEN, Denmark—Milestone Systems has announced the appointment of Hardip Sohi-Bains as its new chief people & culture officer. Sohi-Bains comes to Milestone after a strong human resources career at Rambøll and Novo Nordisk in Denmark.

Thomas Jensen, CEO of Milestone Systems, is looking forward to welcoming the new chief people & culture officer.

“Hardip Sohi-Bains comes with solid global experience in the people-first philosophy while managing organizational change, leadership and business. She will be a great asset in our efforts to further strengthen Milestone’s growth journey, focusing on engagement and talent management,” he said.

Milestone Systems develops and sells video management software used worldwide for everything from traffic management and airports to companies, schools, and hospitals. When opportunity knocked, Sohi-Bains was sure that Milestone would be her next destination.

“I am very excited about Milestone’s people-first strategy, the strong focus on responsible technology, the level of innovation and the growth ambition,” she said.  “People must be at the core of everything we do, creating opportunities to grow professionally and personally. I see Milestone as a company that in everyday thinks and works with people first in mind.”

From a position as HR director at Rambøll UK, the Leicester-born British national moved to Denmark in 2017 to work at the Rambøll headquarters, first as head of HR transformation and group functions and later as global head of human resources for corporate functions.

“I was so excited about the Scandinavian HR mindset of empowering people that I did not think twice when I had the opportunity to move to Denmark – and I must say I have not regretted it,” she noted.

For Sohi-Bains, the song “You’ll Never Walk Alone” is not only the anthem of Liverpool Football Club and her favorite tune as a die-hard Liverpool fan, but the words also describe the purpose and promise of her new role at Milestone.

“The people-first culture is characterized by principles of freedom, inclusion, and a strong sense of togetherness,” she explained.

Sohi-Bains' first day at Milestone will be on June 15, when she will also join the executive leadership team.
