“Elizabeth has been a driving force behind redefining early career hiring strategy at Medtronic As a recent hire to the company, she has championed the value of Gen Z talent by building intentional partnerships with schools, organizations, and vendors ensuring their voices are heard at the leadership level. Her approach centers on inclusion, transparency, and innovation, resulting in stronger candidate experiences and improved business alignment. Through compelling storytelling and data-driven insights, Elizabeth has secured executive buy-in and mobilized cross-functional teams to embrace a forward-thinking approach to talent engagement for just in time hiring and a new approach to her team’s capability. Under her leadership, and in less than two months she led her team to hiring of over 75 new grads for a critical talent need for the business and showcased the power of her team.”
