SS&A Welcomes Larissa Southey as Director of Human Resources

SS&A is proud to welcome Larissa Southey as our Director of Human Resources. Larissa received her Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Auburn University. She is also an SHRM-CP (Society for Human Resources–Certified Professional). In her role at SS&A, she will be responsible for the full employee life cycle, from hire to retire and everything in between. She possesses a passion for building credibility for the HR division by designing policies that align with organizational culture and values, shaping relationships with employees across all organizational levels, and acting as a liaison between management and staff to resolve conflicts, build morale, and influence positive and effective HR support.

Larissa’s most recent work experience was with a family-owned printing company. As is often the case with small businesses, her involvement in the HR role was born out of necessity. HR encompasses many of the skills she has acquired over the years but with added emphasis on relationship building and numerical evaluation (HR metrics) which ties back to her love of numbers and finance degree, which is ultimately why she decided to make HR her main focus.

“The culture and ‘family feeling’ that extends into the workplace were evident from my very first interview with SS&A. I wanted to be part of that team. That first impression was so strong that it reminded me of an old African proverb: If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I instantly felt that SS&A and I could go far together.”

We look forward to going far with you too, Larissa!
