Marc Effron, is a top 100 Influencer in HR and founder and president of the Talent Strategy Group and Talent Quarterly magazine. He helps the world's largest and most successful companies improve the quality and depth of their talent. In light of that, Talent Strategy Group just launched the first-ever census of the global human-resource community targeting over 35K HR leaders. The 2019 Global Human Resources Census will provide HR professionals with key insights about the evolving HR community – the work they do, their diversity, capabilities and mindsets. The survey even assesses sleep, stress, engagement and balance.

He is a regular columnist for human resources publications worldwide.

He earned a M.B.A. from the Yale University School of Management and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Washington.
