Katherine McCord is a physically
and neurodiverse woman, successful entrepreneur herself, she built her career
on inclusive innovation in People Operations and HR Tech. She lives by the
motto that different is not a deficit.
In 2014 she founded Titan Management, a national people operations consulting
firm, and then in 2021 she shook up HR Tech by designing the first ever fully
accessible, anti-bias Applicant Tracking System plugin that fires the resume
and showcases company diversity!
Featured at Web Summit, HR Disruptor, SHRM, and London School of Business, she
makes an energetic, interactive, education-based speaker who always brings some
spice!
When she hits the stage, get ready! Her bold, engaging style may be
entertaining, but it will also provoke thought, and leave you motivated to act!
She joined me this week to tell me more.
