Nikitas Marinos is Sales Director for EMEA & APAC at Workable, where he leads regional sales strategy and growth across international markets. He works closely with organisations to support the adoption of smarter, scalable talent management practices across the employee lifecycle, spanning talent acquisition, operations, development, and talent intelligence.
With a background in Business Administration, Marketing, and Informatics, Nikitas brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the intersection of people, technology, and business performance. He is particularly keen on the role of AI and data in people operations, and how these technologies can help HR teams make better decisions while creating more efficient and human-centric experiences.
As a Gen Z leader in the HR-tech space, Nikitas offers a forward-looking view on the evolving expectations of both organisations and employees, and the ways technology is reshaping the future of work.

Using live audience polls and open discussion, we explore what drives disengagement, what great collaboration looks like, and what TA teams can do differently to make hiring managers genuine partners. Come ready to share your experience — and leave with ideas you can use.
