#50 - Kelly Mendez-Scheib
In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Mendez-Scheib, Chief People Officer, PhD candidate in Leadership and board advisor, with over 15 years of experience in global People strategy. We explore the tension at the heart of People leadership: how to build trust while serving both employees and the organisation. We discuss why HR is often perceived as a distrusted function, what it takes to earn a seat at the leadership table, how leaders balance growth with tough people decisions and where to draw the line on AI in hiring and performance. A practical conversation for People leaders, Talent leaders and founders building at scale. Send Talent Talks a message!
