About Kathleen Hogan
Hogan, as head of HR at i4cp member company Microsoft, is responsible for pushing the company’s cultural transformation forward so it can thrive in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. As widely reported, Microsoft is undergoing significant change under CEO Satya Nadella, and Hogan plays a key role in shaping policy for the company’s 115,000 employees.

Wadors, who was the highest rated speaker at last year’s conference, returns to provide additional insight into how HR is crucial in LinkedIn’s rapid growth and the “sexy” initiatives she’s implemented to engage employees and inspire innovation.
