About Cierra Releford

Strategic Employee Experience and L&D Professional with 7+ years of experience designing and leading large-scale onboarding, learning, and engagement initiatives for global organizations. I specialize in building scalable, cohort-based onboarding programs, optimizing learning ecosystems, and driving employee experience strategies that align with business goals. Through cross-functional collaboration, data-driven insights, and a people-first approach, I’ve consistently improved new hire satisfaction, accelerated time-to-productivity, and strengthened organizational culture. Recent highlights include redesigning Lyft’s global contingent onboarding program, leading cohort onboarding experiences at Dropbox that raised new hire satisfaction, and spearheading new hire onboarding initiatives at ExxonMobil. I’m passionate about creating learning and onboarding experiences that not only educate but inspire — building workplaces where employees feel seen, supported, and set up to thrive.
