Linda is an amazing entrepreneur, and I am so grateful to call her a friend. She is incredibly smart, dedicated, and committed to changing how corporations find, attract, and retain talent.

Her company TalentGuard is changing the game regarding workforce skills management. Despite their success, Linda continues to grind every day to continue to be a thought leader in how AI can develop the best talent for an organization. She and her team are breaking new ground with their software and approach, and I, for one, am so grateful she shared a little bit of their approach and some secrets to her entrepreneurial success.
