Angela Briggs-Paige, Head of People and Culture at Opportunity@Work

Angela Briggs-Paige leads the People and Culture team at Opportunity@Work, where she is responsible for driving a people-first AND skills-first strategy that is grounded in Opportunity@Work’s mission to rewire the U.S. labor market so that all individuals Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) can work, learn, and earn to their full potential.

With more than 20 years of experience in the recruitment, retention and development of talent that delivers business results, Angela brings the knowledge necessary to foster a diverse, cohesive culture that promotes customer focus, collaboration, inclusion, employee engagement and business success. Simply put, her purpose (and passion) is performance excellence through people.

Angela is obsessive about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. She understands that “people can’t be what they can’t see” and as such makes intentional decisions to drive a workplace culture where people are seen and valued for who they are so that they can thrive. It is the foundation of psychological safety that allows organizations to be more productive, more empowered, and more innovative.

Prior to joining Opportunity@Work, Angela provided oversight and leadership of all People Operations including HR technology, service delivery, operational effectiveness, business process review, continuous improvement activities, technology strategy and staff coaching and development for PopHealthCare. Before that, Angela served as director of Human Resources for Cricket Wireless – a AT&T company. She was responsible for providing leadership in developing and executing the human resources strategy in support of the company’s overall business plan and strategic direction.

Angela is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR), a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) and a Certified Diversity Recruiter (CDR).
