About Samantha Derenthal

With over four years of experience as Sr. Manager of Talent at IHI, I focus on building equitable environments that empower staff to develop and succeed. I lead the transition of talent management functions into specialized areas, such as talent acquisition, performance management, employee engagement, and learning and development. By partnering with executives, I align systems-based talent management processes with the organization’s strategic goals and individual career aspirations. My work modernizes onboarding and learning opportunities, emphasizing best practices like asynchronous learning, social engagement, and on-the-job experiences to enhance retention and impact.
