Kerry Milazzo — Head of Talent
I’m a born-and-raised Rhode Islander who headed to Washington, DC for college (American University) and now call New York City home. I’m an avid traveler and a self-proclaimed foodie—always hunting for the next great bite or adventure. Professionally, I’ve had the privilege of growing my career across a wide range of company sizes—from scrappy startups of 40 to scaling orgs at 600 to navigating the complexities of global teams at 10,000+. Regardless of size or stage, my mission stays the same: build trusted relationships, empower managers, and create a workplace where employees genuinely love what they do. What I love about HR is that no two days—or people—are the same. I thrive in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments where I can roll up my sleeves, drive strategic impact, and build inclusive, people-first cultures. My sweet spot? Acting as a strategic HR partner to leadership—especially when it comes to employee relations, performance management, and manager coaching. I specialize in building scalable people programs that not only support rapid growth but also preserve the heart of company culture along the way.
