Xobin HR Awards 2026

Betsy Thomas

Betsy Thomas is an L&D leader who champions building capability from within. At VivaLaVida, she chose to close AI skills gaps by investing in her existing team rather than hiring, backing short, practical courses that delivered immediately usable skills. Her people-first approach to AI upskilling proved faster and more cost-effective than external hiring, while strengthening team confidence and retention. It positions her as a forward-thinking voice in workforce development.
