Chelsea Spain

Head of People

Chelsea is AOR’s mega-superhero. She’s more than HR, she’s a people-person dedicated to the health and well-being of our agency and it’s, you guessed it, people. Her journey to HR was anything but linear, but that’s what makes her great at what she does. She’s lived and worked abroad, spent many years in the non-profit world, and comes from a background in psychology — the perfect mix of things to just GET IT.

As our Head of People, Chelsea acts as a bridge between our team and Executive Leadership. She’s our voice, our advocate, and the one championing for our well-being and a healthy workplace. She manages all HR duties from payroll to policies, hiring to culture & communications, as well as keeps our office running and events bopping. Despite it all, Chelsea’s ultimate goal is to foster a thriving, people-first environment and to continue uplifting a happy, healthy, and forward-thinking agency.

She channels her love for people and adventure into exploring Denver and the Rocky Mountains, chasing live music, practicing yoga any and everywhere, and soaking up good times with friends (preferably in the beautiful Colorado sunshine) while always striving to be the best mom she can be.
