Latoya's Gems: Own Your Development Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

Latoya Baldwin is a dedicated career woman, seasoned HR professional, devoted mother and a (soon to be) published author. She is passionate about helping people in realizing their personal and professional goals in life.

Ms. Baldwin graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Finance. However, early on in her career, she realized that her real interest lay in aligning people strategies with business objectives. This led her to move from banking & finance to the retail sector and transitioned into the field of human resources.

Over the years, as a HR business partner, she has led transformation initiatives with Fortune 40 corporations to benefit tens of thousands of personnel. The devastating impact in 2020, caused by the outbreak, had her witness the fragility of the labor market with a large number of layoffs that are still ongoing.

This caused her to use her personal brand and help the affected people in improving their chances of gaining employment and rebuilding their lives. In September 2020, Latoya launched her blog latoyabaldwin.com where she guides ambitious young women in furthering their careers. When she’s not working, you can find Latoya giving back to her community and making memories with her family.
