Samantha (Sam) Langston is the Head of People at Oxeon, where she leads the firm’s people strategy, organizational development, and culture-building efforts. Her team develops and supports the people infrastructure that powers Oxeon’s team—designing systems and experiences that attract, retain, and develop exceptional talent while supporting a high-accountability, values-driven culture.
Sam began her career at Vail Resorts, where she had the opportunity to learn from a best-in-class people team at a time of rapid transformation and brand expansion. That experience sparked her passion for building thoughtful, scalable HR functions rooted in both strategy and service. Since then, she’s built and led People teams across industries including hospitality, energy, and private equity-backed businesses, with deep expertise in total rewards, workforce planning, and M&A integration.
With a background in building and scaling HR functions, Sam brings a deep appreciation for the importance of trust, transparency, and aligned leadership. She is passionate about using the People function at Oxeon not only to support the business, but also to foster connection, strengthen internal collaboration, and invest in the development of every team member.
Originally from Colorado, Sam holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder. She now calls New York City home—and is enjoying exploring all the city has to offer!
