Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! If you are here you are probably looking to do one of these things: 1) learn more about me and my background 2) learn about what I am up to currently 3) stalk me because it’s been a while since we last talked/worked together/went to school together/met 4) you came here by accident but said “what the heck – let’s see what this guy is all about anyhow”. Whatever reason you are here, I am happy you found me. As for a brief overview of my background and what I do, I am an experienced Global Talent and Talent Branding, Talent Acquisition, Marketing, Culture Building and HR Leader who has managed, led and built multi award winning brands, talent teams and cultures. I will NEVER refer to myself as a “speaker” (that just gives me the heebie-jeebies when people do that. If it really is your job to be speaking then cool, but let's be honest most of the time its "I spoke at a few conferences") but I have spoken at several events over the years and continue to do so if it makes sense and if I can offer something meaningful. Here are some of the events I have spoken at and some places you find me when you Google me (a bit of #humblebrag on your profile is OK, and here is mine):Keynoted: LinkedIn's Talent Connect Conference twice (Las Vegas and Sydney), ERE, The MIT Employer Symposium, BATSA (Boston Talent Sourcing), AOEP (Association of Employment Professionals), Boston Design Museum Workplace Innovation Summit, and HR Biotech Connect. I have been a Featured Speaker at: LinkedIn's Talent Connect Conference every year from 2012 - 2022 and again this year 2024, The LinkedIn Talent Talk, Unlocking LinkedIn, RecFest 2024, The Glassdoor Summit, ERE New Orleans, ERE Atlanta, The CFO Talent Show, Mass Bio and many more. I was also lucky enough to be the very first Host of the LinkedIn Talent Connect Live Stream in 2014.I LOVE what I do, which these days is employer brand, talent marketing, culture building, talent leadership and much more. I am currently (and proudly) the Head of Global Talent Brand at Synopsys. Thanks for visiting and may the force be with you – always.Have a better LinkedIn "About" section. You can't.
