About Danielle Siwek

Danielle Siwek is a Strategic Planner at Emerson, working within the company’s Measurement Solutions business group. Based in Mound, Minnesota, she focuses on workforce planning and organizational strategy. Her career path has been shaped by multiple corporate transitions and acquisitions, providing her with direct experience in how organizational structure and people strategy intersect during periods of change.

She began her career in human resources as an intern at Village Automotive Group during her senior year of college in 2017. After completing her degree, she was promoted to HR Generalist and worked across the company’s Wayzata and Maplewood locations until October 2019. She then joined Open Systems International (OSI) as an HR Generalist. Following Emerson’s acquisition of OSI in 2021, she was promoted to HR Supervisor and subsequently to HR Manager. When the business unit was spun off to AspenTech in 2022, she transitioned into an HR Business Partner role. After Emerson re-acquired the business in 2025, she was promoted to Principal HR Business Partner. In January 2026, she moved into her current role as Strategic Planner within Emerson’s Measurement Solutions group.

Siwek holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with an emphasis in Human Resources from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, which she completed in May 2018. Before transferring to St. Thomas, she studied Economics and Finance at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida from 2014 to 2015. She is currently pursuing 300-hour yoga teacher training as of 2026.

Outside her professional work, she has supported organizations including the Red Cross, Soles 4 Souls, and Bridging. She grew up in Andover, Minnesota, where she attended Andover High School and participated in competitive dance, coed soccer, and the DECA business club.
