About Chris Brown

I am a 20 year plus veteran of Human Resources in both the public and private sectors. I wish there was a HR Engineering title since that is the primary role I play in each organization for which I have worked. I make organizations move (literally) to success in filling their roles. I have a driving passion for fulfilling my managers’ needs and wants with the respective talent in the marketplace. As a leader, I am a practitioner of leading from the front-whether it is implementing a new applicant tracking system (which I\'ve done three times now) or filling the hardest role within the organization. I have no problem closing out tasks.
