Danielle Skipper, Human Resources Business Partner, Exclusive Networks
Innovative, energetic, and (slightly) chaotic, Danielle Skipper, Human Resources Business Partner for Exclusive Networks, is not your average HR pro. Here background spans tech, vocational rehabilitation, recruiting, and go-to-market teams, with a rare blend of industry insight and educational strategy. She has never been afraid to challenge outdated ways of developing talent. With expertise in building sustainable cyber talent pipelines, expanding access to tech careers, delivering workforce innovation and providing meaningful education, Danielle understands how to connect the dots in IT. She leads cybersecurity education and workforce development initiatives focused on helping students and underrepresented communities break into tech through practical training, mentoring, and real-world exposure. That works closely with colleges, universities and IT industry leaders to design programs that truly prepare learners for today’s cybersecurity roles - not just theory, but those rare skills employers value.
