About

Abi Kishore — HR Coordinator | Talent Operations | Culture Advocate I coordinate recruiting, onboarding, and Workday workflows for Blue Mountain Resort (Alterra Mountain Company), keeping thousands of seasonal and year-round employees engaged, compliant, and productive. Past impact: As Associate Director, HR at Stylework, I scaled headcount 21×, helped drive a 39,900% valuation surge, and embedded a DEI roadmap that reshaped the culture. Early foundations: Roles with ABC Consultants and Chawlas2online.com in India taught me to fuse data-driven recruiting with bold employer branding, expertise I now apply in Canada. Beyond HR: Amateur cosmology reader, history enthusiast, and fearless home chef (my family bravely taste-tests every experiment). Let’s connect and see how thoughtful people operations can move teams and communities forward.
