Liza began her career in Toronto, Canada as a Staffing Specialist for a small temporary staffing agency.

At Coca-Cola, she built a recruiting team implementing a total transformation of the hiring processes across Canada. Throughout her nine year career with the Company, Liza was responsible for multiple re-organizations as the company transformed its North American business model.

Kristin Nicole Saunders, MBA
Vice President
Technology Consulting
Co-founder of mxa talent solutions, llc.
Kristin comes to MXA Talent Solutions with over a decade of experience in the talent acquisition/recruitment and human resources technology world. She began her career in this space upon receiving her undergraduate degrees from Michigan State University, where she studied both International Relations and Public Relations. Her learnings from these two degrees made her realize that working with people and helping them better their lives by finding new careers was her calling. She took this passion to Chicago, where she lived for 10 years and spent five of those years with CareerBuilder, specializing in recruitment software solutions for Fortune 500 companies. This success brought her to Atlanta, where she continued with CareerBuilder for another five years, partnering with The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, and other International enterprises on developing, implementing, and optimizing their recruitment and HR technologies and processes. Deciding to see what life was like outside of recruitment, Kristin took her love for technology to Gartner, where she spent three years partnering with technology leaders and CIOs on creating strategic alignment and operational efficiencies. However, she always found herself gravitating towards improving or enhancing her clients’ recruitment and HR tech stack. This is when she decided that joining forces with Liza to create MXA was what she was meant to do.
Kristin continues to reside in Atlanta with her boyfriend, Brian, and dog, Phoebe. She graduated with her MBA from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University and received her Diversity and Inclusion for HR Certification from Cornell University.
