Exciting News: I Have Joined CeridianHCM as Marketing Manager

I am thrilled to announce I am joining CeridianHCM as marketing manager working full-time on the division’s full range of products, with special emphasis on the SaaS application, DayforceHCM. As a business writer covering human capital management, I have had many wide-ranging discussions with some of this marketplace’s finest innovators and disruptors. These conversations have led me to conclude that Ceridian Corporation, through its acquisition last year of Dayforce, is poised to change HCM technology irreversibly and for the better.

It has been a pleasure, as a researcher, business journalist and blogger, to observe and cover human resource technology from the perch of impartiality. Most know me for my work these past couple of years as tech editor for HRO Today and as co-founder and lead co-host of #HRTechChat. My experience in this market space dates back, in fact, to 2006, when I joined Kennedy Information to write for Executive Recruiter News and conduct research into the executive search profession and talent management technology. That focus, on technology, sharpened as I became editor in chief of TalentManagementTech, a website launched by Tarsus Group plc and later acquired by the publishers of HRO Today.

In aggregate, my experience has been the precursor preparing me to join CeridianHCM. I look forward to being a part of the team as the company delivers DayforceHCM, technology that does what HR departments and the organizations they serve have long needed.
