Vice President, Global Talent Development and Employee Engagement

Acquia

Amy Parker leads Acquia's Global Talent Development and Employee Engagement strategy. She joined the Acquia team in 2014 as the Director of Acquia University, a technical talent incubator program for Acquia and the Drupal community and went on to build Acquia's first global Learning and Development function. The global team now offers programs that span the entire employee life cycle - from new hires, early-in-career employees, management/leadership development, all the way through collaborating with senior leaders on customized employee learning and engagement programs. 

Over the past 15+ years, I have worked primarily in high-tech, advertising, and digital marketing environments and have built and launched programs for integrated talent development and talent management: redesigning the approach and processes for talent acquisition and performance management, selecting and deploying HRIS, Employee Engagement, Performance, and Learning solutions, and building a talent pipeline through organizational design, learning, and coaching programs. In her spare time, she's an advisor and mentor to early-stage startups, a frequent contributor to the Massachusetts Technology Council programming, and an avid underwater photographer.
