Natalie Baye Baumann, Business Development and Marketing Manager
Natalie, a Purdue University alum, spends her days building relationships and strategic partnerships with local companies and advising them on staffing and hiring solutions for their business and operation—but no day is ever the same.

Of all of her responsibilities, Natalie enjoys “the strategy and economic analysis surrounding the current labor and employment markets and its impact on businesses.” She also enjoys meeting face to face with current and prospective clients to learn about the challenges and trends they are facing.
At home, Natalie has a petite pittie named Stella, who is her “little princess,” and she thoroughly enjoys being in the sunshine at the beach, or taking Stella on long walks. Natalie has lived in Texas, Pennsylvania and Indiana before coming to Illinois in 2010. She and her husband enjoy various sporting events, live music, and stay busy with his two boys!
