Justin Worthley,
Senior Vice President of People & Culture, Burton Snowboards
Justin has spent the majority of his career working for world class values-led brands, nearly all rooted in his home state of Vermont. He is currently the Senior Vice President of People & Culture at Burton Snowboards, based in Burlington. Since joining Burton in 2011, he's been proud to help Burton navigate a number of challenges and opportunities and emerge with a stronger business and values-led Purpose and Culture.
Justin is incredibly proud of Burton becoming a certified B Corp over the past 5 years – no easy feat for a complex, global company like Burton.
Prior to Burton, Justin was the General Manager of Rhino Foods from 2006-2011 and was part of a team that established the Income Advance Program. While at Rhino, he attended a Bridges out of Poverty training sponsored by the United Way and came away with a better understanding of the challenges and needs of many of Rhino’s front line workers. With that training in mind, and experiencing frequent requests from employees for emergency payroll advances, he approached North Country Credit Union President Bob Morgan seeking new approaches; together they hatched the idea of the Income Advance loan. Fast forward to today, where the Rhino Foods Foundation has helped spread Income Advance programs and products to a growing and ever-expanding list of companies and financial institutions, helping countless employees navigate through short-term financial challenges, and build bridges to longer-term financial stability. Another source of pride!
Justin has additional HR, Operations and Leadership experience from roles at Bosch, Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s. His degree is from the University of Vermont, and he completed an MSA from St. Michael’s College. Justin proudly serves on the Board of Directors of the Chill Foundation.
