Kadesh Conroy has transcended many borders in her lifetime. Her first came while leaving her birthplace, Kingston, Jamaica, and arriving in the United States at the age of 10. She grew up in Boston’s neighborhood of Roxbury and attended Boston Public Schools, soon becoming the first in her family to be accepted to college after graduating Boston Latin Academy. Kadesh received her Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) and also earned her Bachelor’s Degree with a concentration in Human Resources Management and Information Systems at Northeastern University. While at Northeastern, she was awarded the New England Human Resource Professional Excellence Award. Kadesh’s people strategy and leadership development experience began with her role as HR Generalist for Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Explorica (an educational travel company for students). She became the national Human Resources Director for the B.E.L.L. (Building Educated Leaders for Life) Foundation in 2015 and, in 2017, became Global Director of Human Resources for Ivy Gate International Education Group, a top higher education management company based in Shanghai, providing post-secondary preparation services to college-bound students in China and the United States. In addition to her work with IvyGate, Kadesh has extensive international business experience, beginning with an Economic Development internship in China and the former Czech Republic in the aftermath of the global recession. While in China, Kadesh spoke with private companies in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. Here she facilitated meetings with leadership to develop innovative Human Resource management strategies in response to global economic shocks. While in Prague, she researched and analyzed the effects of the surge of Foreign Direct Investment on human capital in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. Kadesh also develops a variety of human resources solutions for social enterprises, nonprofits, educational institutions, and healthcare providers collaboration with her husband, Chris Conroy. Kadesh lives with Chris and their four children in Roxbury. She is a published author of books and journals, most notably 100 Ways 100 Days, a motivational text designed to train readers for peak performance through positive psychology. Her personal philosophy can be best described by her favorite quote, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
