👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Laban is an HR technology strategist with 10+ years of experience translating complex business needs into scalable HR, talent and learning technology solutions at Unilever, partnering at C-suite level to shape multi-year global transformations. He combines deep domain knowledge across Workday, Cornerstone, Degreed and other HR platforms with hands-on programme delivery—resetting vendor relationships, stabilising high-risk projects and driving application simplification and recruitment tech change. Early career training in biological sciences and lab-based roles gives him a methodical, evidence-driven approach to problem solving, while a side-life as an embedded systems contributor (notably optimizing image processing in the OpenMV camera project) reveals an appetite for low-level performance tuning and pragmatic engineering. Known for pragmatic influence, strong cross-functional empathy and an external-facing view of emerging areas like AI, privacy and analytics, he consistently pushes for innovative journeys that create competitive advantage.
