About Rolan Ordway

With over 30 years of experience spanning comprehensive People Operations and strategic Talent Acquisition, across various industries, my passion lies in the intersection of human connection and organizational success. From my corporate People Operations and Talent Acquisition roles to my executive consulting engagements, I having guided thousands of candidates and employees over the decades through their careers. I thrive on learning about people, their skills, and creating an environment that fosters s positive employee engagement that drives the business forward while empowering employees to find success and their “why”. I am well-versed in developing and standing up effective employee centric programs and managing the full spectrum of the employee lifecycle. I love how the HR industry continually evolves through technology and tools, yet I cherish the enduring simplicity and effectiveness of genuine, person-to-person connection.My background is primarily rooted in the high-tech space. As an \"uber geek,\" I genuinely enjoy working on projects involving cutting-edge technology—IoT, Big Data, and cool new gadgets—often before they are even released to the public. I also have a strong personal passion for PC Gaming and the gaming industry, extending my tech enthusiasm to working as a quasi-game developer/designer on the Unity platform.There is a unique \"art\" to fostering a strong culture and finding the right people who thrive within it. The feeling of accomplishment when that connection changes a person\'s life with a new career path, or improves an organization\'s framework, is why I do what I do, every single day.I am an Open Networker and LION (LINKEDIN OPEN NETWORKER) and accept ALL invites.Current Opening at Nanoverse:
