About Kendra Paolitto
Driven leader recognized for cultivating partnerships with business leaders and People teams to create strategic alignment through the hiring and managing of game-changing talent for mission-driven companies. My career embodies 15+ years of Human Resources experience emphasizing team building through seeking out and hiring the hidden gems of passive talent to mesh and grow with existing employees and culture. I have earned documented successes, awards, and testimonials in adding company value in the cancer genomics, AI, medical device, manufacturing, national defense, media, and Biotech industries from start-ups to global companies, as well as Retained Executive Search (Heidrick & Struggles) and starting my own HR/recruiting agency. I effectively navigate highly matrixed organizations providing leadership, talent strategy, and executive/employee coaching while delivering superior results. I am laser-focused on relationship building; securing, motivating, and retaining top talent; and accountability to leadership and to the bottom-line results which are always a testament to a team effort for which I feel I am personally responsible. I am a natural collaborator and communicator who is passionate about connecting people and culture to strategy and outcomes that foster solutions, and in turn, motivates people to want to come to work every day. My least favorite saying, “Why we’ve never done it that way before.” (A.K.A. “But that’s the way we’ve always done it”).
