Seasoned SaaS HR leader with over 30 years of experience as a people and talent leader is tapped to provide employees a best-in-class experience
VTS—the commercial real estate industry’s (CRE) leading leasing, marketing, asset management, and tenant experience platform, announced that Margaretta Noonan has been appointed as the company’s new Chief People Officer. The announcement comes at a time when VTS has made major capital investments in its workforce during the pandemic, and as the company continues to grow rapidly at scale, with its most successful year to-date.
Noonan, an accomplished executive with over 30 years of experience as a people and talent leader in SaaS and public technology companies, has a proven track record of scaling talent and culture for high-growth internet technology businesses. Previously, Noonan led HR for several top global public companies including Monster and Hudson; additionally, she founded her own human resources/people consulting practice.

Under her leadership, VTS has navigated through the complexities of a global pandemic and supported its workforce in a compassionate way as they face unprecedented anxieties – all while growing the global employee base at remarkable scale. Since joining VTS, Noonan has seen the company headcount grow by 65% and has been instrumental in helping VTS secure a number of awards, most recently Fortune’s Best Workplaces in New York City.
