What is TuSK?

  • We usually don't have the time to shout out about great people we know. People we have worked with, people who have made the world a better place. TuSK stands for "Talent u Should Know." You can learn more about TuSK at the link below. Just click on one of the catagory links on the right-hand side of this blog to learn more about people in your area of interest. If you like what you read you can either reach out to them directly (if I provide an email address) or write a comment to ask them to contact you (no promises!). And if you also know this person and like them, leave a shout out for them in the comments. If you don't like them keep it to yourself - I screen all comments and won't accept rants or abusive behavior. I hope this becomes a way for all of us to work with more great people and to ensure that the great people we know are known by as many people as possible.

TalentiNGS

I initiate Talent u Should Know (TuSK) with a post about Nancy Gray-Starkebaum. Nancy has recently left EA to start a new firm: NGS Talent. (Her new email address is "TalentiNGS@gmail.com" which I think is pretty clever.)

I have worked with Nancy for the last year and it has been one of my great pleasures and privileges. She is a keen architectural and operational mind, a rare find in the world of corporate talent acquisition management.

Nancy started the EA Canada recruiting and sourcing organization. The EAC operation went on to source thousands of people and hire hundreds of the hardest to find individuals on the planet (senior software engineers with deep game development experience). EAC's success is a real credit to her capabilities.

Nancy is a blast to hang around - great sense of humor, down-to-earth while still being hard-driving. She lives in Vancouver, Canada and has the coolest little son on the planet.

Drop her a note and get to know her. You won't regret it.
