Luci Gomes — CEO
I build the teams that build the future. Over the past 15+ years, I've led talent acquisition at the intersection of technology, strategy, and transformation — scaling global hiring engines at some of the world's most recognized companies: GitHub, Microsoft, and ADP. My work has never been about filling seats. It's about anticipating where a business is going and ensuring the right human capital is already in place when it arrives. At GitHub, I redefined what a TA function could look like inside a world-class tech company. I stood up an internal executive search agency — bringing C-suite, VP, and Director hiring in-house — while simultaneously transforming our recruiting infrastructure with AI-driven practices that cut time-to-hire by 40%. I didn't just modernize processes; I shifted the entire talent philosophy of the organization, embedding AI fluency and skills-based hiring into the DNA of how GitHub thinks about workforce growth. Before that, I spent seven years at Microsoft architecting global talent strategies across commercial, marketing, and consumer functions during one of the most consequential pivots in the company's history — its transformation into a Mobile-First, Cloud-First enterprise. Sourcing intelligence, executive recruitment, and data-backed pipeline strategy were my tools. Business outcomes were the measure. What sets my work apart is the ability to operate simultaneously at the strategic and structural level — advising C-suite stakeholders on workforce design while building the operational frameworks that make hiring scalable, equitable, and predictive. I've launched Early-in-Profession and University programs from scratch, built internal mobility frameworks grounded in skills gap analysis, and led teams across the US, LATAM, Canada, and EMEA. I'm always focused on the next executive chapter — where talent strategy is a true business imperative, not an afterthought.
