aised in Jamaica until she was an adult, Sheryll migrated to Canada and now calls Toronto, home. It’s from her Ontario base that Sheryll started her career in mobility a decade ago as
a global mobility administrator. Passionate, informed and dedicated to her purpose, she is an active member of and influential leader in the global mobility community. As well as her role helping positively to shape people
strategies in organisations and individuals’ lives at Vialto Partners, Sheryll has a number of voluntary roles where she shares her knowledge. These include on the DEI committee at the Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC), as vice-chair of the Tax Forum and as a member of the Public Policy and Immigration working groups with the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council (WERC). Sheryll also is an ESG champion at Vialto Partners and an active mentor for black Canadians as they launch their careers after university and college. Sheryll's finely honed perspective on global mobility
has been forged by increasingly senior roles across several sectors: engineering, procurement and construction management
(EPCM), utilities, ecommerce and
consulting. Sheryll’s continuous drive to shape GM strategy is informed by her knowledge and ability to provide invaluable market insights, solutions and thought leadership in a rapidly evolving mobility ecosystem. “I soaked up as much learning as I could at the start
of my career about vendor management, establishing and building relationships,” says Sheryll. This early foundation in strategic talent management and mobility raised her awareness of the significance of valuing individual assignees with their unique needs, circumstances and perspectives. “I still remember some of the names of individuals whose mobility journey I played a role in and which country they went to from the start of my career.” Having an advisory role and the opportunity of
a short-term assignment as an HR business partner in Abu Dhabi was equally life-altering. “Facilitating those conversations” recalls Sheryll and “having those insightful and unique conversations with the assignees really brought home the sense of what I was doing as a career and why.” These insights remain fundamental to her consulting approach today.
DEI – A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Sheryll is unwavering in her belief that Global Mobility is a core component of inclusive talent management where every individual should be afforded the benefit of a mobility experience. This is especially true now with environmental, social and governance frameworks front and centre of corporate agendas. Recognising that mobility functions alone cannot be responsible for inclusive talent management as part of the ESG agenda, Sheryll is disconcerted by what she sees as a “de-prioritisation of DEI conversations and initiatives” in businesses. “So now we’re left wondering who fundamentally owns the conversation? We need to have – at an enterprise-wide level – conversations around what we want to stand for, how we address hiring diversely and create an inclusive framework in which mobility operates sustainably.” This means removing barriers – seen and unseen – for
