Adam Holton

Chief People Officer
GE HealthCare

Adam Holton is Chief People Officer for GE HealthCare, responsible for providing strategy and leadership for GE HealthCare’s Human Resources (HR) team. He joined GE HealthCare as Chief People Officer in June 2024.

Adam brings more than 20 years of HR leadership experience to the role, having led HR at multiple companies and built deep, global, publicly traded company experience. Throughout his roles, he has worked on transformative efforts and large-scale projects that have driven business growth across industries, with the depth of that experience in healthcare.

Prior to joining GE HealthCare, Adam was Chief People Officer at Amedisys, a home health company where he led the HR, Communications, and Marketing functions. Before Amedisys, he served as Chief Human Resources Officer at both Numotion and CHS, Inc. He also held HR leadership roles with USAA and Bank One.

Dart Lindsley

Advisor to Google’s People Experience function, CEO of 11fold and Author of HBR Article Reimagining Work as a Product.

Dart Lindsley has held HR leadership roles at companies world-renowned for their talent practices. He is currently Head of Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google. Prior to joining Google, he led the Human Resources Transformation Planning and Analysis organization at Cisco Systems.

Dart is also the co-author, with Eric Anicich, of Reimagining Work as a Product, published in the Harvard Business Review (November–December 2024). The article was featured as part of a spotlight on What Companies Get Wrong About the Employee Experience, reflecting Dart’s provocative and systems-oriented approach to rethinking the nature of work. Dart’s podcast Work for Humans routinely ranks in the top 5% of all podcasts worldwide.

Before embarking on his business career, Dart spent nearly two decades in the literary arts as a writer, editor, and university instructor. A part of him has always continued to stand slightly apart—observing business with the eye of both an artist and an outsider.

His distinctive perspective was further shaped by his work as a business architect—a discipline rooted in operations rather than human resources. Building the logical models required by business architecture allowed Dart to step back far enough to escape conventional paradigms and see organizations as they truly function.
