Episode description

Alysha M. Campbell didn't start out in People Ops, she went from multiple roles in business analytics to recruitment, to HR. Carving a path for herself and landing at notable companies like The Economist as their Senior Global HR Business Partner before starting CultureShift HR a company borne of an unrelenting need that now fills her cup.
