Elizabeth Cronin
Director, Talent Acquisition and Operations @ Xeris Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
About
I build talent acquisition organizations that scale with the business, not just fill roles. My background spans enterprise and global environments where hiring success depends on strong workforce planning, modern TA operations, and leadership alignment. I have led initiatives that strengthen executive and early-career pipelines, modernize HR technology, and connect hiring outcomes to long-term growth and succession priorities. I thrive in complex, matrixed organizations and am known for bringing clarity to ambiguity, strengthening TA operating models, and developing high-performing recruiting teams. At my core, I believe great talent acquisition is not transactional, it’s a strategic lever for building resilient, future-ready organizations.
