🗓️ Guest: Alex Salas, President of NYC SHRM and HR Leader Extraordinaire

Welcome to this week’s episode of the PEARRM Leadership Wellbeing Series! In this episode, host Prudence Pitter sits down with Alex Salas, a visionary HR leader whose career spans multiple industries, from finance to nonprofits, luxury retail, and beyond.

Alex shares his dual leadership journey:
