Tyrone Smith Jr, global head of people analytics and insight, Udemy
What has been your path to power?
My career trajectory into people analytics has not been a linear one. It has been a winding journey due trying different things; taking risks and taking opportunities. I started out in accounting and finance immediately after completing my bachelor of science degree in business administration from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. I then worked in IT which fed my drive to learn something dissimilar. I then came into HR and found more specifically my passion within it: people analytics, which is all about the humanity within the workplace.
As I grew in the HR space, I obtained a Global MBA from the University of Houston-Victoria and then further harnessed that passion in an EdD in leadership and innovation by focusing on research interests in people analytics for talent management and the future of work from St. Thomas University. Although my path has been unique, it has allowed me to gain insight into diverse organizational departments and the variety of skills needed to support the work required for each department type, which I believe adds value to the business and shows my ability and flexibility to take on new things.
