Alba Anthony
Alba Anthony understands what too many still overlook: Human Resources isn’t a support function—it’s a strategic engine that drives a company’s culture, performance, and long-term viability.
As the Head of People for Grey North America, Alba sits at the intersection of business strategy and human potential. She leads with a future-forward mindset, designing people-first initiatives that not only attract and retain top talent but also build resilient, inclusive workplaces where innovation thrives. From recruitment to retention, performance management to organizational restructuring, she ensures that every people decision ladders up to business growth.
With more than 15 years of experience transforming HR functions at powerhouse brands like AKQA, Bleacher Report, CBS Interactive, SiriusXM, and The Weather Channel, Alba has proven time and again that strategic HR leadership is a company’s secret weapon. At Bleacher Report, her DEI roadmap led to a measurable increase in women and people of color hires. At Grey, she implemented a manager training program that slashed first-year turnover by half.
Alba’s approach is equal parts visionary and practical—backed by data, informed by experience, and centered on impact. She has launched mentorship programs, overhauled performance systems, and redefined talent acquisition strategies to reflect the realities of a modern, diverse workforce. For Alba, HR isn’t just about policies—it’s about people, purpose, and progress.
