For my first guest of 2025, I'm delighted to welcome Lisa Hammond, Chief Human Resources Officer at Veradigm. Lisa is a visionary leader with over two decades of experience in HR and organizational strategy. With key roles at Blockbusters, Samsung and many hospitality giants.
She has a rich history of driving transformative change in dynamic environments, from leading M&A initiatives to fostering leadership development and optimizing talent acquisition strategies.

Ross and Lisa talk about finding a path in life, changing jobs, taking risks, building relationships, people wanting to invest, tolerance, handling human nature, coping with crisis, real issues, changing perspective, compassion and grounding yourself. The pair also discuss the new President bringing change to organisations, internal transformations, transforming healthcare, humans guiding AI, staying healthy, upskilling, reskilling, falling behind, development, giving people value, being humane, being the person you want to be and traveling to Nepal.
