At Porter Logistics, we know that our people are at the heart of our success. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Sam Foshee, our Head of Human Resources, who is shaping our People and Talent function to support our rapid growth. Get to know Sam and her vision for building a dynamic and inclusive workplace.
Throughout her decade in recruitment and human resources, Sam has distinguished herself by building high-performing teams at fast-growing startups. Her expertise in talent strategy, recruitment, and organizational development makes her the perfect leader to drive Porter Logistics’ continued expansion.
“Building a People and Talent function from scratch has been my career dream,” Sam shares enthusiastically. “Porter’s rapid growth trajectory and potential to become a nationwide household name made this opportunity irresistible.”
Sam’s leadership philosophy centers on three key values: transparency, communication, and integrity. She creates an environment where employees feel empowered by ensuring clear company goals, fostering open dialogue, and maintaining consistent, ethical leadership. This approach builds trust, encourages collaboration, and supports both personal and organizational growth.
When not shaping HR strategy, Sam pursues her passion as a certified hot power yoga instructor. Her dream dinner companion would be Patanjali, the sage behind the Yoga Sutras. “The philosophical foundation of yoga extends far beyond physical practice,” she explains. “Its principles of discipline, mindfulness, and balance deeply influence my approach to both life and leadership.”
Sam lives by the motto: “Run toward what energizes you, not just what you’re good at.” This mindset has guided her career choices and encourages growth beyond comfort zones. As she leads Porter Logistics’ HR initiatives, her enthusiasm for developing people and culture promises to create an engaging, dynamic workplace. The future looks bright with Sam at the helm.
