About

VP of Partnerships at Thomas International 🌍 I get to do something pretty exciting, leading a global partner network spanning 102 countries, connecting the people and organisations who are reshaping how the world thinks about talent. Right now, I'm especially fired up about the work we're doing in embedded partnerships building deeper, more meaningful joint capabilities that put powerful people science right at the heart of how businesses operate day to day. Because HR tech is changing. Fast. The next generation of people technology isn't a bolt-on, it's woven into the flow of work, and I think we're just getting started. Always up for a conversation about partnerships, the future of HR, or where people tech is heading next. 👋
