The Edge Briefing -Executive Career Intelligence The executive job market doesn't work the way most people think. The best roles are never posted. The best leaders are never "looking." And the system that connects the two was never designed for people with 20+ years of track record. Each week, The Edge Briefing delivers the market intelligence, industry signals, and strategic insights that senior leaders need to navigate career transitions, without competing in a system that was never built for them. Hosted by Kelli Jackson, Founder of Expert Edge — The Talent Agent for Executives.
