Chip Turrisi
Sr. Manager, Early Career Recruiting & Programs
Royal Caribbean Group
Nominated For: The Exceptional Leader Award
This award honors senior leaders who are championing the future of early career hiring within their organizations. These individuals are making the case for investing in Gen Z talent, guiding their teams through transformation, and aligning leadership around the importance of connecting with the next generation. They are bold advocates for candidate experience, early talent strategy, and using innovative approaches to close the gap between what Gen Z candidates expect and how companies show up.
From the Community: Why this Nominee Stands Out
To be considered for the CRCAs, individuals had to be nominated by a peer, manager, colleague, or direct report. This quote was shared by the person who nominated this person for recognition, highlighting the impact and excellence they’ve demonstrated.
“Chip has been instrumental in elevating the role of early career talent within our organization. He deeply understands the long-term value of interns and has made intern conversion a strategic priority. Under his leadership, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of interns who transition into full-time roles, thanks to his focus on creating meaningful experiences and clear pathways for growth.
In addition, Chip has built and nurtured a high-performing team dedicated to early talent. Through his guidance and support, the team has expanded the internship and rotational programs, enhanced their structure, and introduced new initiatives that better align with Gen Z expectations. His ability to grow talent internally while advocating for the next generation externally has helped bridge the gap between emerging professionals and company leadership in a truly impactful way.”
