The AI Pivot: Seagate’s Workforce Transformation in the Age of AI (an Interview with Patricia Frost and Ruslan Tovbulatov)

What happens when you stop looking outside for talent and start unlocking the full potential of the people already on your team? 

That is exactly what host David Green and his guests explore in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders Podcast. 

Joining David are Patricia Frost, Chief People and Places Officer at Seagate Technology, and Ruslan Tovbulatov, Chief Marketing Officer at Gloat, the platform partner behind Seagate’s internal talent marketplace, TalentLink. And together, they share how Seagate reimagined its approach to workforce planning by pausing external hiring and focusing on the talent already in-house. 

In this conversation, expect to hear how Seagate: 

• Shifted from external recruitment to unlocking internal potential 

• Created transparency and trust to support employee-driven growth 

• Integrated AI to enhance - not replace - the human workforce 

• Rebranded their platform to reflect a purpose-led, people-first strategy 

• Helped employees navigate the emotional side of change and adoption 

This episode, sponsored by Gloat, is a practical, inspiring look at how to future-proof your workforce by starting with the people who are already part of it.
