Greenville, N.C. – ECU Health, eastern North Carolina’s leading academic health care system, has named Kelly Weatherly, MBA, CEBS, SPHR, as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) effective immediately. As CHRO, Weatherly will direct human resources operations for the health system and its 14,000-plus team members. She will report directly to ECU Health Chief Operating Officer Brian Floyd.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Kelly and our HR leaders as we modernize how HR serves the enterprise,” said Floyd. “This has included a refinement of the strategy, processes and procedures that support ‘people development.’ I feel strongly that her leadership in the chief human resources officer role will help ECU Health in its mission of improving the health and well-being of eastern North Carolina. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Kelly and the entire HR team.”
Weatherly joined ECU Health in 2022 as the vice president of Total Rewards and HR Operations. Since then, she has successfully led the HR team through a strategic transformation which has advanced HR programs, technology and practices.
Through Weatherly’s leadership, the HR team revamped ECU Health’s performance management system, implemented improvements to benefits offerings based on organizational growth and team member feedback, developed a system-wide database to track recruitment and retention efforts and continued to grow our internship and talent management pipeline.
