Kalifa Oliver, Ph.D.'s Linkedin Analytics

TLDR: I optimize and humanize the relationship between people and technology to make work more efficient and to improve the employee experience. I am an experienced HR executive focused on building high performing and inclusive cultures and positive end-to-end employee experience for organizations. I lead HR/Talent teams and transformation initiatives to provide executive decision support and help leaders successfully leverage people data, analytics, and insights to produce better business and financial outcomes. I am adept in emerging predictive models and LLMs including ML, NLP, and AI as a business need. I serve as an internal consultant, connector, and influencer, and a trusted C-Suite advisor. My Competitive Advantage: I have a unique background that lives in the intersection of I-O Psychology and People Analytics which means I build talent and leadership strategy and programs by using data, analytics, and advanced models. Yet I lead with insights and storytelling to make data outcomes more practical, actionable, cost-effective, and solution oriented. In all my roles the focus has been both talent enablement and analytics through partnering with executives, the business, HR Business partners, legal, finance, compliance, and technology teams. I make sense of chaos and turn it into strategy. I have the unique ability to serve as a both an analytics leader and a talent leader which is my secret sauce to helping organizations achieve talent goals, scale, and thrive. None of my roles have been purely analytics- it’s an area of expertise I bring to talent and employee experience to make it more measurable and impactful. My roles have always been about building and executing people strategy in balance with organizational bottom line goals.
