Hiring as leadership
Why the ability to choose the right people has become the defining skill of modern leaders — and how to build it.
Lorena Prego helps leaders see talent the way the best builders do — as the single decision that shapes everything a company becomes.
The signature keynote
For twenty years the market rewarded leaders who could manage teams. The next decade will reward the ones who can choose them.
Drawing on 5,000+ hires and a front-row seat to the tech and AI talent race, Lorena shows why hiring has quietly become the highest-leverage decision a leader makes — and how to get remarkably good at it.
