Alaina Schnipke has been the one asking the hard questions on this series, pulling at the seams. Today we turn the mic around.

Alaina has spent a decade building systems inside some of the most demanding people operations teams; Goldman Sachs, Amazon AWS, Hinge Health, running talent, scaling, and transformation work at high pressure. She built a pre‑IPO people tech stack, launched an international entity, holds multiple recruiting certifications, and started her career teaching public speaking, which is why she’s so direct, clear, and unexpectedly warm.

What makes Alaina compelling right now is that she’s living the disruption at the core of this series; a new job, a new city, split‑living with her partner, and the weird, quiet work of re‑building a life after years of building systems for other people.

She arrived in London with almost no English, built a career in one of the world's most demanding corporate environments, and then, at the exact moment everything looked most successful, started hearing the signal she'd been ignoring for many years. She listened. What she built next is the most honest version of who she always was.
She is precise, self-aware, and allergic to comfortable answers. She is also, in the best possible way, still working it out. That combination is rare. It's why she's in this chair.

Not as a credential, as a description. When the field of talent intelligence was still fighting for a seat at the table, he was already building the methodology that would define it. His career sits at the intersection of labour market analysis, workforce strategy, and the specific discipline of turning data into decisions that organisations actually make differently.
He has operated inside some of the world's most complex talent environments, built intelligence functions before most organisations knew they needed them, and published thinking, through the Talent Intelligence Collective, that has shaped how practitioners around the world understand what the field is for and what it can do.
What makes Toby unusual is the combination: rigorous technical intelligence capability alongside a genuine willingness to say the uncomfortable thing. He does not do conference-keynote optimism. He does not soften the diagnosis to protect the room. What he has to say about the gap between where talent strategy is and where it needs to go is specific, evidence-grounded, and deliberately honest.
