Leading the HR, Learning & Talent Management, Events, and Internal Comms efforts within Kendo.

Cultivating a learning culture at Kendo with an amazing team of humans. Our mission is to ensure everyone is successfully set up to build beautiful careers with us.

I truly love igniting excitement and passion across our global workforce - my mission at Kendo is to activate our teams globally with scalable educational platforms, programming, and tools that drive brand love and adoption across every region and channel!

Led a full life cycle recruiting coordination team to support all LinkedIn University talent hires. This includes the facilitation of the interview process and partnering with our many internal teams to ensure immigration, relocation, offer letter processing and onboarding for 600+ global hires are secured with a seamless candidate experience. Also led team to deliver global events for our Talent Acquisition organization and it's clients. This includes broader internal and external conferences, networking events, and sponsored & strategic brand events. Our mission is to emotionally transform every event attendee to become a brand ambassador of LinkedIn. We excel in high volume event execution with a hyper personalized attendee approach. The team delivered ~200+ experiential events a year.

I joined the Talent Acquisition org @ LinkedIn immediately after the IPO. It was an incredible time to join as the company was still in startup mode and the energy was crazy! This amazing journey allowed me to build scalable talent programs from nothing to become the backbone of our high volume hiring strategy. Some of the programs and events I built and led are LinkedIn's global intern event program, Invitational program and Technical Hackdays. My role also involved working on our branding collateral and overall look and feel of LinkedIn's University Recruiting brand and outreach.Over the course of 2 years, our intern program grew from 75 interns in CA to 300 in 6 different geos. I've had the pleasure of designing our event infrastructure to globally support 5 unique regional programs with 80+ activities, speaker series, and strategic professional development sessions over the course of a 3 month time frame. We developed an amazing onboarding experience that eventually set the blueprint for our global onboarding program for all full time hires who joined Kendo.The Invitational Program I created was a critical part of our recruiting strategy where we built targeted sell days around high volume onsite interview days. This program was proven to minimize the time to close and also served to build brand ambassadors through our candidate pool. Our reach spans from 1,200 attendees in a 4 month time-frame in the past year with an 80NPS.

Helped develop a full fledged archiving system for 2,000+ previously completed and all future jobs. Led the direction of new process and communication re: changes. Also drove summer marketing campaign that reached 200+ clients and specifically developed design and format of collateral prints with partnership of branding and executive teams.

Led strategic marketing campaign for our summer showroom event. Assisted with production/curation of our SFDC exhibits displayed throughout the showroom. Also co-created an internship program linking local design students with internship opportunities @ SFDC throughout the school year.
