Connect Online with this Speaker

Heather began her career in the Agency world and quickly sold herself to a Start-Up Client in Silicon Valley as their Corporate Recruiter. Two years later she was recruited away by Cisco’s Talent organization who hired Heather to satisfy a frustrated VP of Information Technology. This new role was funded by the Cisco IT executive team, and during her tenure, she not only reported to the IT executive team, but became a participating member of Sr. Staff. During her tenure, Heather developed a passion and a knack for tying the organizations overall business strategy to their hiring needs..  She was asked to move to Research Triangle Park, NC to continue to execute her hiring strategy and help grow what would become their second largest facility outside of the Silicon Valley . In 2001 after the birth of her first child she left Cisco to raise her son, yet during this time Heather, received her PHR and consulted with a small federal contractor.  That role eventually resulted in Heather becoming their VP of Operations and HR. In 2012 she returned to her passion, High Tech hiring, and was selected as Dimension Data’s America’s region Sales and Pre-Sales Talent Partner. In 2015 she was the only Talent Partner asked to participate as a founding member of a new Global Cloud Talent team. With the empowerment of leadership, the team was trusted to engage clients consultatively. She’s been asked to speak on the strategies Dimension Data implemented to create a consultative approach, what benefits it provides and how it can be implemented into your organization to develop a deeper sense of ownership in the hiring process.

Shaunda Zilich
Global Employment Brand Leader
GE
Connect Online with this Speaker
Shaunda has a passion in everything she does to impact people’s lives… …for the better of course. She does enjoy her career but she enjoys life more! She enjoys life everyday by not taking things too seriously, making people laugh, speaking at events, helping people learn from her mistakes and successes, volunteering to transform her community, taking part in local events (like the Bourbon Chase and music festivals), and more important than life itself is her faith and family.  
 
Her passion to leave a positive impact on people’s lives is why her role at GE as the Global Employment Brand Leader suits her well.  As she puts it… ‘she sells experiences, what can be better than that?’. 
 
Her ‘past lives’’ include roles in marketing businesses and people in a number of industries.  This has given her the experience outside of HR to do what she does today for GE.  Four years ago, Shaunda started this adventure with GE to modernize its recruitment and bolster its employer brand. Now she runs a global team of three full-time employment brand leaders and a council of 35+ members, building employer branding across all functions and regions, in all GE businesses, and within all GE employees (big shoes!) Her 10+ years of past experience in training professionals and companies on how to brand themselves have played a key role in her success at GE.
