Brady Pyle spent 31 years at NASA, most recently as Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer - the #2 HR role in the organisation - before becoming Chief HR & Inclusion Officer at Space Center Houston. He’s the author of Building Culture the NASA Way and Out of This World Leadership.
At NASA he led a transition that broke with 60 years of precedent: moving HR from a fully decentralised model - every centre managing its own - to one centralised function, freeing up budget for missions by cutting the cost of running HR itself. That’s the conversation: what it actually takes to lead people through a change that big, when the old way has worked for six decades.
