What’s this podcast all about?

Sabrina Battison, leader of House of Visionaries, was joined by Danielle Greene, VP Head of People @ Outlook Therapeutics, to talk about building a global TA function from scratch. Twice.

A must-listen for TA and people leaders who are tired of being seen as a service function.

Danielle spent 15 years in nonprofit and education before pivoting to corporate, and turned that “non-traditional” background into her edge. In under five years she went from contract recruitment coordinator to leading TA across 24 countries. She then joined Outlook Therapeutics to build the people function from the ground up at a 22-person biotech.

In this podcast, Danielle shares how she proved TA’s ROI with a $1M saving in six months, how that changed the conversation with her exec team, and how to scale a lean function without losing the culture you built.

Topics kicked around:

✨ Proving TA’s ROI: $1M saved in six months
✨ The shift from coordinator to thought partner
✨ Why people leaders should think like entrepreneurs
✨ What CVs (and AI) can’t tell you about a candidate
✨ Building a lean TA function
