Episode 2, Part 1: David Reed of Vail Resorts

Big Fish in the Talent Pool

David Reed is the VP of Global Talent at Vail Resorts, the premier mountain resort company with a simple mission: “Experience of a Lifetime”. Think that provides a great platform for a premier employment brand as well? You’re right – but that doesn’t make it easy! In Part 1 of our conversation, David and I talk about his amazing career journey, including dashed Olympic dreams, a false start in accounting, then a serendipitous meeting leading to almost 3 decades with Accenture building and delivering world-class Talent Acquisition for both internal and external clients. David's stories offer plenty of lessons learned to be consumed by the aspiring TA Leaders out there. Enjoy!
