“None of the company’s milestones could have been accomplished without our incredible team. As we continue to expand – with a focus on the needs of customers, employers and workers during this unique time – it’s important to keep our team’s needs top-of-mind while also recruiting additional top talent. There’s a real need for a chief people leader to be at the table as we map out our company’s exciting future.”   

Lewis’ HR career spans more than 25 years, most recently serving as senior vice president of global human resources for Pontoon Solutions.

Lewis is also active in her community – she sits on the board of advisors for Wolfson Children’s Hospital’s annual challenge event and Changing Homelessness and is a graduate of and volunteer for Leadership Jacksonville. 

“This is an incredible opportunity to make a mark on this company’s future,” Lewis said. “One Call has experienced a lot of innovative development over the years, but after meeting with many of the company’s leaders, I’m convinced the best is yet to come.”

“When I met with Terri, I knew pretty immediately we had found our candidate,” Warsop said. “She is an experienced, first-class professional who is well-suited to blend our business and people-centric goals. She is going to be a wonderful addition to senior leadership and our entire One Call team.”
