Andy welcomes Tom Bowen to this week’s Talent Development Hot Seat. Tom leads Learning and Development at Gem, a talent engagement platform. Tom has 15 years of experience in L&D and spent more than a decade abroad, mostly in Seoul, South Korea with shorter stints in India and Europe.

As the first L&D hire at his past five companies, Tom Bowen thrives on the zero-to-one phase of building an L&D strategy and its platforms. When he isn’t building programs, Tom can be found spending his time exploring California with his partner, three young kids, and a sheepadoodle.
