In their words.

In my career, I’ve been extremely lucky to partner with Brad on creating new ventures and radically transforming existing organizations. Brad embodies what every business leader wants and needs, but rarely gets: a business oriented, progressive and strategic HR leader, who generates cogent perspective on both people issues and business issues, and makes a real difference in achieving results.

Marcello Mastioni — COO, Loadsmart & Altisource · Expedia, HomeAway, Vrbo

Brad was the senior leader in the business leading all HR and People oriented functions across the enterprise, and was an excellent partner to me, as well as all senior executives. He develops a deep understanding of the businesses he supports and is able to make insightful recommendations, both from an HR perspective and from a larger business development and strategic perspective. While his passion is in people and culture focused functions, his approach, adaptability, and intelligence make him capable of leading operations, product, and many other functional areas.

Kandy White — President & COO · Scaling global services platforms to $100M+ P&L

Brad is not your typical senior HR executive. He is strategic, dynamic, a game changer and ideal leader for a fast moving and aggressively growing organization. Above all, he is an empathetic leader, a human being, a family guy and a loyal business partner who cares deeply about the people and the business outcome.

Helen Xing — GTM Partner at AWS · formerly Collibra

As our Chief People Officer, Brad demonstrates the unique ability to deeply understand the company’s business strategy and then recruit and develop exceptional talent to achieve our goals. He created a company culture based on inclusion, clarity, collaboration, and support. Brad’s intellect, humility, and strategic vision make him a valued contributor to the Executive Team.

Tim Evans — Global Sales Executive · Loadsmart

Brad perfectly embodies the values and employee-centric approach of a modern-day Chief People Officer. Throughout my time at Loadsmart, Brad has been an invaluable internal resource and business partner. He has been able to quickly learn the business while collaborating with key internal stakeholders to drive timely decision making while understanding the impact.

Zach Bartlome — Senior Vice President at Sheer Logistics

Brad is an absolute game changer. Shortly after Brad joined Collibra as our VP of People, I could feel the collaboration and culture shift for the better. Not only has Brad been able to understand and assess employee needs throughout the business at all levels, he has built and executed on strategic initiatives and programs mapped back to those needs and business objectives.

Angela Losacco — Vice President of Sales · Collibra

Brad is an HR executive that is a creative problem solver who uses his strategic mindset and deep personal relationships to solve complex business challenges. He does an excellent job engaging with his C level team, partnering with them to drive impactful programs that drove bottom line results.

Aileen Black — SVP Sales, Executive Team member · Collibra

HR Professional may be what LinkedIn says, but limiting Brad to simply being an HR Professional greatly undermines the value he is capable of delivering. Brad has a unique capability to assess all aspects — People, Operations, Financials — of a business challenge and bring strategic thought and solutions, well outside of “just” the HR space.

Jim Vaca — Operations Management · Banking · SaaS · PMO

Brad is a renaissance-style Chief People Officer. At his core he has boundless energy and enthusiasm that lifts every team he works with. Add on an open and inquisitive nature which helps him bring new technologies and protocols to the work of People Operations. Top it off with a strong business and analytic orientation and you have an unmatched business partner.

Joshua Steffan — Vice President and Group General Manager · Porch

In Collibra’s 2021 sales planning cycle, we partnered together to deliver sales territories, coverage models, and quotas within record speed, allowing our sales organization to quickly understand our priorities and where to deploy critical resources. Brad is way more than an HR leader. He’s a trusted advisor and a mission-critical asset to any organization.

Tony Hung — Director of Field Operations · Collibra

Brad helped Collibra transform and prepare itself for a new level of growth. In one year he was key to help build new leadership teams across the field, finding excellent new talent. The best trait of Brad is that he is capable of balancing the people team’s obligation to represent the company’s interest while doing what is best for the employee base.

Koen Van Duyse — Collibra · GCP · AWS · Azure

For nearly one year, Brad and I worked closely together as an HR/Communications superteam. He brought to every conversation a clear POV, but was open to hearing others’ opinions and ideas, and truly integrated those into very thoughtful and engaging actions. His approachable leadership style allows for honest dialogue but decisive action.

BrieAnn Osgood — Senior Executive Communications Manager · Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Brad listened to the sales team and developed a sales talent development program that helped top performers with lead generation while training young inexperienced cold-callers into seasoned sales professionals. I was fortunate enough to have three sales apprentices, and over that two-year period that translated into over $10 million in additional revenue — one apprentice has developed into the #4 account manager in the organization with a $6 million territory.
