The head of operations at Westworld is Theresa Cullen. She makes sure the park stays held in check, and everything stays on script. Actress Sidse Babett Knudsen fills this role with grace, but another person had been originally cast to play Cullen.

Casting announcements had Mirando Otto set to play that role. You might know her from the Lord of the Rings or Homeland, where she portrayed Allison Carr. Due to a Showtime series commitment, Otto had to withdraw from Westworld in 2015.
