About Zack Hudson

I love helping organizations build a talent organization where associates can be wildly successful in their roles. I’ve scaled the employee experience and talent strategy for what was essentially a 43k-person start-up, starting with nothing and becoming a nationally recognized talent organization in two years. I\'ve also had the privilege to lead the talent, performance, learning, orientation, and compliance integration work between Humana and CenterWell Home Health - one of the largest healthcare acquisitions in US history. I also create leadership content that reaches 172 countries and over 100k readers/listeners monthly through the Passing the Baton Leadership Podcast and its website.
