LeaseAccelerator announced Amy Long has joined the company as the Vice President of Talent Development. Long brings over 20 years of experience at high-growth technology companies implementing and building out all human resource functions, including recruitment, employee training programs, organizational development and talent retention initiatives.

In her role, she will lead the global talent development efforts at LeaseAccelerator as the company strengthens its base of operations in North America and continues its expansion in European and Asian markets. Long’s short-term priorities will include increasing the attractiveness of the company’s compensation and benefits plans, enhancing the new hire recruiting and on-boarding experience, and bolstering employee training and development programs. Her long-term goals will include working with the leadership team to foster a culture of innovation, optimize the organizational design and enhance the employer brand.

“At LeaseAccelerator we are not only building a new category of software, we are establishing entirely new categories of job functions and career paths for professionals seeking opportunities in the rapidly growing Enterprise Lease Accounting sector,” Long said. “I am looking forward to leading our innovation in the areas of global culture, recruiting and talent development as we continue our journey of establishing LeaseAccelerator as one of the best places to work around the world.”

Prior to joining LeaseAccelerator, Long worked with companies such as Level 3 Communications, TATA Communications Ltd., iCore Networks and Sidera Networks managing day-to-day human resource procedures, recruiting efforts and business collaboration. She was then hired in 2013 to develop and implement all human resources functions for EdgeConneX, a high-growth startup telecommunications company.

“The 20th century approach to human resources is no longer viable. Success in today’s software industry requires a relentless focus on attracting, enabling and retaining the top talent in the marketplace,” said Michael Keeler, chief executive officer of LeaseAccelerator. “As we continue to expand our workforce into new international markets, Amy will help us attract the best and brightest so that we can continue to satisfy and delight our customers with the best experience in the industry.”
