After 20 years inside talent acquisition, one thing stays constant: the companies that hire well don't just find great people. They build the systems, the playbooks, and the infrastructure that make good hiring repeatable, then keep evolving them as the business changes.

The world of work is being rewritten in real time. AI is reshaping how companies hire and how professionals build careers, and nobody has fully worked out what comes next. That's why I built a lab rather than an agency: a place to experiment, test what actually works, and build the skills and systems that hold up while the ground is still moving.

It's also why there are two tracks. One for companies building, one for professionals navigating. Both sides of the hiring table, same set of questions.

LCTalentLab exists to be that space. For companies building teams that can do hard things. For professionals reimagining what their career could look like. For anyone who sees the rewrite as an opportunity.

I spent those twenty years inside Vocera, SCAN Group, Matterport, and ImmunityBio, building talent acquisition functions, high-performing teams, and the infrastructure behind them, through IPOs, acquisitions, and international expansion.
