The Portland Timbers and Thorns have captured the hearts of soccer fans of all kinds. Please join FEI Portland for an engaging conversation with Heather Davis, CEO of the Portland Timbers & Thorns, moderated by Patti Moller, Wells Fargo Commercial Bank. Heather is only one of five women in Major League Soccer to currently oversee business operations as president or CEO and she is one of the highest-ranking female sports executives in Oregon sports history.
Heather will share with us her insights on how soccer has evolved at the league and club level, the challenges the sport faced during COVID along with the opportunities it presented, and what is in store over the next few years for the club, the MLS and the NWSL. She will discuss what it means to lead an organization in today’s Portland.
Prior to our dinner meeting, Protiviti will lead a PD Session, "The Dynamic Workplace - Leading Talent Management Strategies". With the Great Resignation of older workers leaving the workforce, the increased demand for remote work, and the implementation of new technologies including AI, the current and future state of the labor market has been radically reformed. Unemployment and labor participation in specialized skill sets is low, and voluntary quit rates are high. Many companies are finding it difficult to hire and retain skilled finance and accounting talent, and that’s leading to a lot of unplanned and very inconvenient gaps in organizational charts.
Matt Harvey, Managing Director | Protiviti, has recently shared insights on these topics, faced by many finance leaders across the globe, including the current labor market, future of talent and labor models and ESG and talent planning.
