Since 1992 HR Tech Advisor’s Chief Advisor has grown numerous HR Tech businesses via innovative direct and indirect sales methodologies. Part of the growth came from educating and coaching buyers of HR Technology and Services on key ways to better leverage tech tools to help human resource and IT professionals become more successful and deliver business results for their employers. A lot of the growth could be attributed to outstanding partnerships and strategic alliances.
