Background

About George Rivera

With over 20 years in the business, my journey began with a deep-rooted dedication to empowering people and organizations. As a child of entrepreneurial parents, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of effective business on individuals, communities, and broader society. At Paychex, my career took an upward trajectory, tackling new challenges and creating meaningful, people-first impacts across thousands of businesses. The year 2020 marked a significant leap in my professional path when I joined SHRM as the Senior Vice President of Enterprise and Commercial Partnerships. Here, my role revolves around bolstering and magnifying the essential contributions of our partners and clientele. SHRM stands at the forefront of empowering HR professionals, people managers, and business leaders, offering unmatched networking opportunities, the latest workplace insights, cutting-edge research, and diverse developmental programs. Our current focus lies in partnering with enterprise-level businesses to foster world-class HR and people-centric practices, adapting to the evolving demands of the modern workplace. In my view, I'm in the most rewarding role imaginable. Daily, I find inspiration in our team and clients, driven to craft a more inclusive and effective world of work that benefits everyone. I'm always eager to explore new possibilities to achieve this vision, whether it's through engaging with potential candidates (yes, we're hiring!), connecting with businesses, or brainstorming with prospective collaborators.
