The Humanity Talent Network
Humanity Health will use the new funding to expand its base of C-Suite and executive-level leaders who are members in the Humanity Talent Network (HTN), a private membership community of leaders who identify as women and/or people of color. Through HTN, each member is matched with their own executive career strategist and delivered opportunities such as board positions, executive roles and investor introductions that are personalized to their expertise and preferences. Members are also invited to join Collectives, curated small group forums of subject matter experts engaging around career advancement, thought leadership, mentorship and collaboration. HTN is powered by native mobile applications developed by the company. Humanity Health plans to use the latest round of funding to help companies across the healthcare and life sciences industries connect with highly qualified and talented women and people of color for leadership positions.
The Humanity Talent Network is currently accepting applications for members. Interested members can apply here. Companies interested in partnering with Humanity Health are welcome to contact the company here.
