Networking Best Practices with Jhan Doughty Berry

My role as the Executive Director of Talent Development & Diversity involves working as a strategic partner across the organization to develop, implement and assess strategic learning and development initiatives that aid to enhance the diversity profile of our workforce. I excute this role through my work on several key business-driven projects that I either lead or serve as a member of a team. 

In case you want to know about my organization, ETS is the world's largest not-for-profit educational measurement company with 3,000+ employees and locations throughout the United States and more than 180 countries. Our trademarked brands include: Criterion, GRE, Praxis, TOEFL & TOEIC.

I work within a culture that values critical thinking and thrives on innovative approaches to our work. I have colleagues who are the best in their respective fields-they are purposeful, hard-working, smart and can find humor in every situation. 

I am known for developing business driven ideas, formulating the execution strategy, implementing them with high detail and assessing the outcome. I thrive on developing and working with the best talent, am energized by any opportunity that allows me to engage with others who are excited about our work, and am passionate about diversity and inclusion. I enjoy writing, place high value on collaboration and welcome opportunities to engage in learning and development.

When I am not working, you will find me reading a good book. However, my greatest joy comes from spending time with my family or preparing the latest great recipe from one of my cookbooks or from a television cooking show.
