LinkedIn

My team supports LinkedIn’s Higher Education and K12 customers in North America.  We wake up each day to pursue our vision of empowering students around the world to successfully launch their careers.  Along the way, we work to strengthen academic institutions helping them to attract, engage, develop and retain world class talent.  

We do all this by helping institutions take advantage of LinkedIn’s platform capabilities in order to:

:: Create a richer learning experience that combines existing academic curriculum with LinkedIn Learning’s library of courses.

:: Develop career-ready students & track student outcomes and see where graduates are getting hired 

:: Provide real-time labor market insights that inform curriculum development and expand student access to career options

:: Identify, attract, develop and retain a 21st century workforce

Director of Academic Sales, | North America

LinkedIn's vision in the public sector is to enhance government’s ability to serve the public good.  We do this across four primary dimensions:

* Connect public institutions to their next generation of workforce 
* Enable communication & engagement with citizens, stakeholders, and employees 
* Foster the professional development of public sector employees  
* Offer data and insights that inform policy making

My team and I are transforming the way government identifies, engages and recruits a 21st century workforce.  We educate government agencies on how to leverage LinkedIn to further their mission through the acquisition and retention of top talent. We do this by helping agencies to:

* Build and amplify an employer value proposition
* Attract the talent they need & keep the talent they win
* Leverage data and insights to make better talent decisions
* Reach hard to reach candidate segments such diversity, veterans and STEM
* Enhance social leadership capabilities and communication flow to the workforce
* Connect their workforce with information, knowledge, and peers who enable them to do their jobs better
