A couple of months ago, I mentioned that I was thinking about leaving HR. Well, my friends, that day is upon us.
Starting today, I’m a marketing guy.
Officially, I’m a Senior Social Media Engagement Manager for the Training and Development organization at EMC, the company I’ve been working for over the last three years.
What that means in practical terms is that I’ll be integrating new technologies like social media to further our learning initiatives. I’ll also be marketing those initiatives internally and externally in new and fun ways.
So what happens to Renegade HR?
Not much, actually.
I won’t be writing here anymore (at least not any time in the foreseeable future), but I’m really proud of my body of work on this site, so I’ll be keeping it online indefinitely.
For the last few months I’ve been writing at Go Make Things, my new site about all things awesome. I’d encourage you to follow my adventures there. You can subscribe by RSS or email.
Thank you for reading my ramblings for the last three years. And thanks also to the all of the wonderful people who have supported this site and it’s various side projects.
Cheers!

Chris,
congrats for the change – hope it will work as good as you expect. But for us HR maniacs it is a loss. I always enjoyed your posts. I did not now many people who are able to name things so short and clear as you do. I will miss it.
Whenever you are in Germany feel free to send me a note – there is always a cool beer reserved ;-)
All he best!
Marcus
Thanks Marcus! It’s been a fun ride, but I’m definitely ready for a change.
And if I’m ever in Germany, I’ll definitely take you up on the offer!
Cheers!

G’Day Chris
,Congratulations! I trust that you new role proves to be everything you want it to be. I’ve long believed that “marketing isn’t everything, but everything is marketing”.
Make sure you have fun

Cheers, Dwane!
