Dawn Klinghoffer
Dawn Klinghoffer is Vice President of HR Business Insights at Microsoft, where she leads people analytics for one of the world's largest technology companies. A mathematics major from Bucknell University who started as an actuary in Hartford, Connecticut, she joined Microsoft's fledgling people analytics team in 2003 and spent over 25 years turning HR data into strategic decisions. Her most recognized contribution: replacing the industry's standard 'employee engagement' metric with 'employee thriving' - a framework adopted by Microsoft in 2022 that has influenced HR practices globally and was published in Harvard Business Review.
Scott Morello
Scott Morello is VP of HR Business Insights for Activision Blizzard King at Microsoft, a role he stepped into in October 2023 after building the people analytics function at Activision Blizzard. Before corporate life, he was a marine ecologist - his PhD from UMass Boston studied species interactions in Gulf of Maine intertidal zones. That pivot from counting mussels to measuring workforces defines his unusual edge: he brings the precision of population ecology to questions about how organizations actually behave.
