Borsheims Announces New VP of HR, Assistant Manager
Longtime employees Carie Lehrke and Megan Mattice have received promotions.
Carie Lehrke is the company’s new vice president of human resources, and Megan Mattice is its new assistant gift wrap and shipping manager.
Lehrke, previously senior director of human resources, will continue to oversee and lead the company’s strategic vision for human resources and employee culture in her new position, Borsheim’s said.
During her 29 years with the company, she has managed and directed all areas of Borsheims’ employee relations, including recruitment and retention, onboarding and training, compensation and benefits, and company culture.
"Carie's advancement is a clear reflection of her relentless commitment, unwavering dedication, and remarkable capabilities. I am confident that she will thrive in her new position and contribute to the continued growth of our business," said Karen Goracke, president and CEO of Borsheims.
Lehrke joined the company in 1995 and held roles on the customer service, gift sales, and inventory teams. She began her career in human resources in 1997 as Borsheims’ compensation and benefits administrator. Lehrke has since received promotions to human resources manager, director of human resources, and senior director of human resources.
She will replace Jennifer Johnson, the outgoing vice president of human resources at Borsheims.
Mattice, previously gift wrap and shipping supervisor, has been promoted to assistant gift wrap and shipping manager.
In her new position, she will continue to play “a pivotal role” in Borsheims’ packaging and shipping operations, the company said.
She will continue to focus on logistics, customer satisfaction, and team staffing for the store’s packaging and shipping operations.
“Megan has been an integral part of ‘Team Borsheims’ for 27 years, consistently demonstrating her dedication, skills, and leadership. This change reflects Borsheims’ recognition of her continued contributions and commitment to our success,” said Goracke.
Mattice started at Borsheims as a gift wrap associate in 1997. Since then, she moved on to hold the titles of shipping associate, digital photographer, and gift wrap and shipping supervisor.
She holds an associate degree in fine and digital arts from Metropolitan Community College and resides in Omaha.
