Conor Sweeney

Vice President, Head of People & Talent

Conor Sweeney is VP, Head of People & Talent at Form Health, where he leads people strategy for a fast-growing, distributed healthcare company. His career has spanned companies including HP, Walmart, Box, and WeightWatchers, giving him experience across everything from large-scale transformation and M&A to startup growth and culture building.

Description

Connor Sweeney has worked inside some very different companies, from HP and Walmart to Box, WeightWatchers and now Form Health, and he’s seen what happens when businesses grow, restructure, acquire other companies and completely rethink how people work.In this episode of Let’s Table That, Connor talks about the parts of leadership that tend to get messy: keeping culture intact during an acquisition, knowing when a startup actually needs a Chief of Staff, making return-to-office decisions without blindly following everyone else, and learning how to work with people who see things differently than you do.He also shares why being a Chief of Staff taught him more than an MBA, and why empathy ended up becoming one of the biggest leadership lessons of his career.
