Greg P, Chief Strategy Officer
A decade+ of leading Global Talent Acquisition teams for Fortune 500 tech companies including Amazon, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, and Ball Aerospace.

Superpower: Orchestrator – Knows how business works, how to assemble resources and talent, and produce solutions. A people connector who is able to easily create group commitments to meet common goals and loves being of service to others.

For as long as he can remember, Don has always been interested in emerging work trends, tech, and people practices. This curiosity not only fueled his career, but furthermore granted him the privilege of solving complex talent challenges as he conducted searches for some of the biggest brands in their respective fields, including Microsoft, Amazon, Nike, Box, Sprinklr, and Dyson. 

His journey as a tech recruiter began in Atlanta and New York during the dot.com 1.0 days of the late 90’s. Working with startups, he had a front-row seat to the rise and fall of the first internet economy. Eventually, Don decided to go in-house and joined iXL, an internet professional services firm, to help ramp up their new business model. The next ten years of his career were focused on a recruiting leadership track and leading global recruiting teams at Sun Microsystems (acquired by Oracle) and then Microsoft. Don soon discovered his passion for helping companies build progressive, diverse, and inclusive teams and began to channel his efforts to search for ways in which he could actively promote inclusion in his workspace. 

In 2016, Don launched Rlots to leverage his experience and interests in the evolving nature of work and the role of HR, with the mission of helping companies build inclusive people, teams, and talent strategies. Don firmly believes that how well a company manages its hiring, recruitment, and retention practices directly affects its competitive edge and may very well be the deciding factor in its survival.

His vast experience in different fields has contributed to Don being an orchestrator who not only knows how business works, but further how to foster success. He utilizes his extensive knowledge to assemble resources and talent teams to produce real, meaningful results for his clients. In terms of diversity and inclusion, she specializes in a variety of areas such as outreach, recruiting, and retention. Don also has expertise in management, sourcing toolkits, recruiter/hiring manager training, ambassador programs, and events/communication strategies.His professional development and certifications include VBENC, AIRS, DDI, and Inclusive Hiring Accreditation Trainer.
