MY EPISODE
Brad Williams
Head of HR Technology and People Analytics at Northwestern Mutual
Brad Williams is a curious, humble, diplomatic thought leader who doesn’t usually write in the third person but was convinced by LinkedIn experts that it’s the thing to do here. He grew up thinking he might be an engineer or an architect but veered into studying psychology when family circumstances made him profoundly curious about how personality is shaped and constructed.
