Larry McAlister

BetterUp Advisor

Three-time Head of Human Resources, Larry McAlister is distinguished as a career-long innovator and natural-born leader in the HR space. Most recently serving as VP of Global Talent at NetApp and named in the Top 50 Human Resources Professional Awards (OnConferences, 2021), Larry is consistently sought after to bring transformation and thought leadership – including evolving HR itself, as needed.

Having led HR and Talent at five tech-focused, fast-growing, including three Bay Area Fortune 500 companies – each with at least $1B in global revenue – his current passion is to bring decades of change management insights to growth-minded business leaders at this pivotal point in career management and leadership development history. Individual companies are now well-poised to build their own internal talent marketplaces and drive resilience for individuals to thrive and transform an organization.

Larry currently runs the Corporate Humanist Consultancy (CHC): advising on tech-based products-in-development and helping CHROs and growth-minded leaders build cohesive (and transformative) talent strategies, coupled with HR technology, to drive transformation.

He served as product advisor for three HR Tech companies. With resilience and curiosity, there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished together. You’ve got this. He lives in Northern California his wife, and two adult children nearby.
