Top SchoolKirsten Wright is a senior talent acquisition leader with nine years of experience building executive and technical hiring strategies at GitHub, where she currently directs Executive Talent. Combining a background in nonfiction writing and global modeling with deep hands-on recruiting, she’s known for sharp social perception, clear communication, and meticulous project management. Kirsten’s career blends campus and enterprise recruiting, program design, and manager partnership—skills honed through roles at Laserfiche, The Honest Company, and extensive university relations work.
