Welcome to the Military Transition Podcast, Human Resources Pathfinder Series, where we share invaluable Human Resources career insights and HR tips and tools tailored specifically for the veteran community. I’m your host, Misty Moreno. I served in the Air Force for 20 years and retired in 2020. I’m the Marketing Manager and Content Creator for Vets2PM, and I mentor veterans just like you through the military transition.

In today's episode, we have the privilege of hosting Kevin Baird. He is a Senior HR professional with 13 years of HR experience in areas such as recruiting, compensation, leadership development, training, employee engagement, and retention. He served 24 years in the U.S Air Force beginning his career in Fire Protection, and transitioning to Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and finally recruiting. He transitioned to a civilian career in HR and has held positions as HR Business Partner and Compensation Specialist. He is passionate about driving business performance through developing high performing leaders and improving employee experience.
