Newance is a unique talent solutions provider that offers full-time recruitment, consulting, and cohort recruitment services, in partnership with NEWaukee, a leading community network and engagement platform.Before joining Newance, I led the talent acquisition and retention initiatives across 65 cities for George Street Photo & Video, a prominent nationwide start-up wedding photography/videography company. I successfully managed a team of over 1,500 active talent members, driving strategic growth and excellence in service delivery. I also oversaw the talent success team, responsible for optimizing talent management and ensuring operational success. I thrive in fast-paced creative environments, excelling in problem-solving, time management, and self-sufficiency with a strategic mindset. Cat dad.
