Laura Masters
Director, People Experience & Culture, Expedia Group
Laura Masters closed her Talent 100 interview by recognizing two recruiting leaders she believes exemplify outstanding leadership within talent acquisition.
The first leader she nominated was Sarah Daffern, Director at Expedia Group, based in Geneva.
According to Laura, Sarah has spent approximately a decade with Expedia Group and has built a reputation as one of the company's most respected talent leaders.
“She’s best in class,” Laura says.
Laura highlighted Sarah’s ability to earn the trust of both her recruiting team and the business. She described her as a leader who is deeply respected, widely admired, and someone who has built strong loyalty across her organization.
The second leader Laura nominated was Reagan Ramsey, Director of Product and Technology Recruiting at Expedia Group.
Laura noted that Reagan has spent nearly 18 years with the company and has developed deep expertise across virtually every aspect of recruiting.
“She has seen it all,” Laura explains.
Leading recruiting for Expedia Group’s product and technology organization, Reagan combines extensive recruiting experience with a commitment to staying current on industry trends. Laura describes her as highly seasoned, exceptionally knowledgeable, and widely respected by colleagues across the business.
Laura believes both Sarah Daffern and Reagan Ramsey represent the kind of recruiting leaders who deserve greater recognition for their impact on talent acquisition and their organizations.
