About the Speakers:

Katy Stover, Founder & CEO of HigherPeople

Katy is a learner, teacher, problem solver, hustler, networker, and entrepreneur. She started her career teaching Geometry in Washington D.C. as a Teach for America Corps Member. After seeing the inequities in education, she became passionate about teaching students and adults real world skills necessary for the workforce. She worked at Pearson and then General Assembly running massive educational programs.

While at GA, she partnered with Fortune 500 companies, including Booz Allen, Bloomberg, Capital One, The Department of Defense, and Disney, to up-skill and re-skill their teams. After realizing that GA was only solving one piece of the talent puzzle, she sought to learn more about recruiting. She then spent two years learning the ins and outs of recruiting at an executive search firm. Seeing a need to help companies in a 360 fashion, Katy founded Higher People to help companies recruit, re-skill, and retain top talent.

When she’s not working, she’s rock climbing, hiking with her dogs Johnny Cash & Bleu, re-exploring LA, listening to live music, and working on her "adulting skills."
