Who's Moving?

Hasan Chowdhury joins the London Metal Exchange as Talent Acquisition Manager - Technology. There are some unique organisations out there, and one of the things which I've missed is working at one-of-a-kind type of institutions - I am sure that there are going to be some unique challenges and conditions associated with recruiting there. A Brainfood Live in future methinks.

Karsten Vagner ?joins Define Ventures as Head of People. Great to see senior people roles become a marker of quality in the investment organisations. Some unique challenges also in doing this type of portfolio role - how to provide service and support to multiple brands, multiple companies? Another Brainfood Live!

Raul Cardenas ?joins The Hershey Company as Talent Acquisition Manager - Mexico. So this is now a theme of this week, but again I am reminded of a missed opportunity to learning more about recruiting in non-Anglo centric parts of the world. Time for the Brainfood Live to tour again, and revisit the missing LATAM episode!

Loads of promotions to celebrate this week - seems like folks coming back from holiday to newly promoted positions: Kate Wilkinson goes up to Senior Manager Talent Acquisition at ELMO Software, Karolina Martyniak promoted to Principal Tech Talent Acquisition at Toast, Rutika Mehta goes up to Lead HRBP at Freshworks, Brian Breth goes up JEDI Recruiting Leader at Amazon - North America, Jess Cherner is promoted up to Director Executive Recruiting & Sourcing at SoFi, my buddy Tim Oliver Pr?hm goes to VP Digital Transformation at Kelly Services, finally Agnieszka Porebska , steps up to the big job at Talent Alpha, moving up from VP of Talent Marketplace to CEO - congratulations all.

Edward Saperia has published a new book - Reorganise: 15 Stories of Workers Fighting Back In A Digital Age .

End Notes

Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, so I'm not sure how many of you have had a last minute, last-of-the-summer type of breaks. Enjoyed my Augusts I have got to say and feel that we've got made some good operational moves on Brainfood which will make it better, and more community orientated.

No Brainfood Baked Fresh today as it is holiday, so back with that next Monday.

Cheers
