AceTech Ontario HR Roundtable
How to Turn HR into a Revenue Generator
When: Thursday, June 9th 6PM
Where: The Spoke Club (600 King St W., Toronto)
Driving revenue, or "top line growth" is on the mind of every CEO. Yet it seems that people in other roles, such as sales, become the Corporate Heroes because they've demonstrated a more straightforward impact on this critical goal. HR, on the other hand, has been typically seen as a cost centre and more focused on the bottom line. Some progressive leaders have realized this is a huge mistake and partnered with their HR teams to flip this view on its head.
Join the AceTech HR Roundtable Group in an intimate Q&A with Andy Aicklen as we hear directly from one of these Leaders how to grab the steering wheel and start driving revenue.
This session will be moderated by Jennifer Bouyoukos, HR Tech Leader & Co-Chair of AceTech HR Roundtable.
 Andy Aicklen is a Principal at Aicklen & Associates , Friend of AceTech, Past President of PeopleSoft and trusted CEO advisor & Sales Leader. He has spent his entire career in tech sales and sales leadership. Andy has worked at the largest (Oracle, PeopleSoft & HP) and the smallest companies (his own firm as well as several startups) and loves the "Art of the Sale". He works closely with CEOs primarily with their sales challenges, but is also a coach and mentor to a variety of senior leaders.
You will qualify for this roundtable meeting if you are an HR professional, leading this functional area for your technology company, and report into the CEO or other C-level Leadership Teammember.
Agenda:
6PM - Drinks on the Spoke Club Rooftop
6:30PM - 7:30PM - Session with Andy
7:30PM - 9:00PM - Networking
Space is limited so be sure to email Nomi Cuneo at
[email protected] by
June 6th to reserve your spot.

Summit Series
Often our companies focus a great deal on product development and technology, but not on implementation and the onboarding of customers. Good professional services enable a company to scale. When a company does well at configuration, onboarding, set up and turning on, their customers feel good about choosing them and there is better customer satisfaction and retention. A focus on KPIs and operational management can increase margins, decrease turnover, and increase customer satisfaction.
We are excited to be putting on our first ever
Leadership Summit Series on Professional Services Excellence. Each month we will be joined by a panel of professionals to help you focus on these important business issues to increase your profitability.
This will be a series of three workshops/power sessions from 8am to 11:30am as follows
September - Professional Services
October - Financial and Risk
November - Strategy
More information will follow in late summer. All our Technology Leaders will want to attend this informative and important series.
