Bio
Dominic Atkinson
I took part in the October 2019 HR Strategy Meeting for the first time as a vendor. I enjoyed working with Shakil as our account manager on the day and he did a great job to make sure I was meeting all the right people, that my conversations were with people who were relevant to my business. He was professional and thoughtful in a very fast-paced environment. It was a great first experience of this type of event, and it would have taken considerable effort to have managed to reach the breadth and depth in the HR community if trying to develop these conversations ourselves. Certainly worth exploring future events with this team.
