Founder and Advisor

---

Chris founded LeaderScout to fill the gaps existing in many corporate talent programs. Talent management often misses external market data. Talent acquisition tends to be so stretched that they become reactive and execute only after a vacancy develops. Every company he has ever known as a consultant or an employee struggles with effectively integrating new executives in a way that really accelerates their success. So he established LeaderScout, a talent intelligence company. He offers a full service, subscription program to strengthen executive teams by transforming market data and internal insights into high impact selection opportunities.

Most recently, Chris drove talent management, talent acquisition and learning and development globally for Equifax. Prior to that, he served as CHRO of Answers Corporation and its three portfolio technology companies (ForeSee, Webcollage and Multiply). He also served as a senior HR executive and talent management leader for SunEdison, which was the world's largest renewable energy company at the time. Earlier in his career, Chris was a consultant for CMA (management consulting firm) and a professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, while also consulting for its Center for the Study of Organizational Change.

Chris currently resides in the northern suburbs of Atlanta with his family. Please call or email him at chris.awad@leader-scout.com for further information or assistance.
