Description
Bolt’s CEO recently made headlines for “eliminating HR.” Now we’re hearing directly from the People Ops leader who helped make that shift a success.
Join Kelly Lawson Pihl, Head of People Ops at Bolt, David Rice, host of People Managing People, and Noelle London, CEO of Illoominus, for a live conversation on how forward-thinking teams are transforming HR into a strategic force multiplier.
We’ll explore:
- What a real shift from HR to People Ops looks like in practice
