Bill Baker Biography (back)

Bill Baker has more that three decades of HR management experience in a range of consumer and business-to-business companies. His passion is helping organizations capture the full potential of their HR function. He works with organizations and HR leaders to develop a culture of respect, integrity, and high performance standards.

Bill began his career with Target Stores in 1968. Since 1975, he has held executive HR positions at Dayton-Hudson Jewelers, The Musicland Group, American Can Corporation and American National Can Corporation. He is known for developing successful strategies to address staffing and work force development priorities in high-growth organizations, mature organizations, and turnaround situations.

During the last 10 years, Bill has held senior HR positions with Grand Casinos and Caesar’s. In 1997, he developed a strategy to expand the available work force for Caesar’s properties in Tunica, MS. The strategic initiative, called Adopt-a-Town, gained national recognition as one the most successful company-sponsored welfare-to-work programs in the country. The company and Bill were recognized by President Clinton for the Mississippi program.

Bill earned his BA in management and marketing from St. Cloud State University.
