In this HRchat episode, we consider the qualities that separate the best HR pros from the pack and why HR leaders should seek out mentors from outside the HR profession. We also discuss ways AI is impacting the HR function.
The guest today is David Hanrahan, Chief People Officer at Flare. David's experience is a goldmine of practical knowledge, having served as HR Manager at Universal Pictures, then rocketed through his career holding titles like Director of Human Resources at Electronic Arts (EA) and Twitter, VP of People at Zendesk, VP of People & Places at Niantic, Inc., and Chief Human Resources Officer at Eventbrite.

- Why do you believe HR leaders should seek out mentors from outside HR?
- What are some qualities that separate the best HR/People leaders from the rest?
