About Matthew Polito
Values and character matter most of all in leadership and in life.\" – Oprah A steady executive leader who combines operational precision with visible humanity—clear, calm, grateful, and decisive. Be humble. Sit down. With over a decade of experience spanning Talent Acquisition and HR Business Partner leadership, I\'ve had the privilege of working with diverse global teams to drive meaningful business impact. I\'m passionate about building high-performing teams rooted in trust, care, and accountability—where we celebrate wins (both personal and professional) and push each other to think bigger, embrace challenges, and cultivate a growth mindset. At the heart of our success is diversity of thought and perspective. Creating and fostering a culture where compassion, empathy, excellence, and balance thrive is what drives me. Relationships are the foundation of how we work—not transactional recruitment or HRBP partnerships, but true collaboration that fuels long-term success. As a leader, I’m constantly learning and encourage my team to do the same: stay curious, not judgmental. Currently, I lead Executive Search at LinkedIn. I oversee quarterly and annual reporting, headcount forecasting, TA resourcing and capacity planning, stakeholder management, and more. Leading through change (lots of change) while maintaining business continuity and investing in my team’s growth has been among my proudest moments as a leader.
