Meet Corey
President, Garnet Bridge
Build Strong Relationships | Create Alignment | Drive Growth
Prior to founding Garnet Bridge, Corey Berkey spent more than a decade in leadership roles across organizations ranging in size from small businesses to companies with several thousand employees. Most recently, Corey led the People & Talent function for a global HR tech company, where he helped guide the organization through multiple stages of high growth and successful expansion, resulting in significant merger and acquisition opportunities.
The connection between a growing organization's People strategy and business strategy is critical. They must be complimentary, built with one another in mind, and deeply connected to drive meaningful results. This alignment is where Corey's approach creates the greatest impact for organizations looking to grow, scale, and transform.
Building strong Talent Acquisition practices are also key. Data and metrics can tell a powerful story but knowing how to interpret them and turn insights into action is what creates a lasting competitive advantage. This is fundamental to how Corey has built and optimized Talent Acquisition within award-winning organizations.
Strong People leadership and fast-paced, efficient Talent Acquisition can transform the trajectory of an organization. If you're looking to strengthen your People & Talent strategy, support growth, or build for the future, connect with Corey today.
