I can’t wait to see the impact she will make on our clients as well as our firm in 2021 and beyond.”
“I was drawn to Proactive Talent because of the tribe, the culture, and the impressive work that Will and the team have created,” says Danae Harper. “To be part of helping such impressive and growing companies discover and amplify their employer brands lights a fire in me and to be surrounded by such brilliant practitioners and thought leaders makes the opportunity that much more sweeter.”
