His track record spans five industries across North and Central America, where he's consistently delivered bottom-line results through people-focused initiatives. His latest venture, PropulsionAI - intelligent job descriptions written by AI and you, uses a unique blend of human and artificial intelligence to help organizations achieve clarity about roles, that accelerates hiring, simplifies screening, and on boarding, and improves almost every aspect of talent management.
