Carol Schultz - Building talent-centric organisations

Carol Schultz, founder and CEO of Vertical Elevation, is a talent equity and leadership advisory expert. Recognised for her proficiency in corporate leadership, she’s spent three decades helping executives gain clarity in their careers, make bold leadership moves, and create cultures of performance. Schultz and her team have helped hundreds of companies - from seed stage pre-initial public offerings to publicly traded companies - transform their organisations and create sustainable, talent-centric cultures that run at maximum efficiency.

Talent-centric organizations (TCOs) put their people first, weaving employee needs into the very fabric of the company, rather than shoving masses of warm bodies into cold, open chairs. The resulting ROI? TCOs generate 32% more revenue than traditional organisations over a five-year period, get new products to market twice as fast, and outperform the competition on the S&P 500 by 211%
