About Mac and Row

Mackenzie,  also know as Mac, is a twelve year old American Labrador Retriever. She  was born at a kennel known for their duck hunting dogs. The first two  years of her life were spent learning to be a hunting dog. Like many  hunting dogs, she lived mostly outside or traveling in a crate on the  back of her owner’s truck. 

Since  becoming Row’s dog, Mac has mastered the art of retrieving anything  (except for ducks,) and now travels with Row between France and the  United States.

Row Henson has been involved in Human Resources and Human Resource Management Systems for the past 40 years. 

After  leading HCM strategy and product management teams for two of the  world’s largest software companies, in 1992 she accepted a position at a  startup company outside of San Francisco. That startup went on to  become the most widely used provider of HCM software in the world,  PeopleSoft. Row was instrumental in driving the direction for many years  for this award winning HCM product and for much of the innovation and  globalization of that product. 

Ms.  Henson was voted one of the “Top Ten Women in Technology” by Computer  Currents. She is also the recipient of IHRIM’s (International  Association for Human Resource Information Management) coveted Summit  Award for lifetime achievement in her field. In 2002 Ms. Henson was  named the first Visionary of HR Technology at the Annual HR Technology  Conference. In 2013, Ms. Henson was given the Lifetime Achievement Award  by the Oracle Human Resources User Group.

Ms.  Henson holds a Bachelor degree in Business Administration, with an  emphasis in Management and Insurance, from the University of Georgia.

She  retired from PeopleSoft/Oracle Corporation in April, 2013, and now  enjoys spending time in the south of France and the south of the United  States with her best friend Mac.
