People Analytics Expert, Paul Rubenstein spent his career doing three things - linking business strategy to talent strategy, helping organizations find competitive advantage through the human resources function, and creating profitable lasting relationships with clients as a consultant and outsourcer. He’s a man who is passionate about using science and data to make better talent decisions. Paul is also a ‘recovering Consultant,’ First-Time Chief People Officer with Visier, and ‘People Analytics Evangelist.’


Let’s dive into today’s topic with Paul and look at how a CHRO should be just as hands-on with People Analytics as a CFO is with Financial Analysis, and how it can positively impact a business.

  • “The narrower the view the narrower the strategic lever you pull, the wider the view the more options you find yourself with, and the more impact you can have.” - Paul Rubenstein
