About Kenya Pettis
Talent acquisition professional with 20+ years of experience helping organizations grow by finding the right people—not just filling seats. I believe hiring should be thoughtful, human-centered, and aligned with the bigger picture. It’s not just about checking boxes—it’s about building strong, inclusive, high-performing teams.A passion of mine is creating great experiences for candidates and hiring teams, and I\'ve had the privilege of achieving this while working across a mix of industries, including government contracting, tech, nonprofit, and corporate. No matter the space, I bring a people-first mindset, a commitment to quality, and a drive to help organizations grow with purpose.Connecting talent with opportunities in a way that benefits everyone is a continuous goal I aim to achieve within an organization.
