Shaping Teams, Driving Growth

Kevin Cure did not stumble into talent acquisition. He built his path, one purposeful step at a time. From his early days in the Army National Guard to leading recruitment at some of the most dynamic companies across the globe, his journey has been defined by a single, enduring belief: great people are the engine behind great organizations.

His career began with boots on the ground, quite literally, as a Regional Recruiting Head in the Army National Guard. In those five years, Cure gained more than just an introduction to talent strategy. He learned how to recruit with mission, urgency, and integrity. It was here that his foundation in values-driven hiring took root, shaped by the real-world stakes of service and the long-term impact of building cohesive, resilient teams.

That people-first mindset followed him into the corporate world, where his journey expanded across industries, continents, and challenges. At Xerox, he stepped into an international role that would stretch both his professional and cultural understanding. Based in Lima, Peru, he led talent acquisition across Latin America, balancing the nuances of local markets with global business objectives. It was a formative experience that refined his global perspective and taught him how to lead through complexity.

From there, he moved into high-growth environments such as Niagara Bottling, where he served as Director of Global Talent Acquisition. Tasked with supporting large-scale manufacturing expansion in both the United States and Mexico, Cure brought precision to fast-paced hiring. He mastered the art of aligning talent strategies with operational needs, whether growing existing sites or staffing greenfield builds, while maintaining a focus on inclusive, multicultural practices.

His next chapter took him into real estate with Greystar, a global leader in development and property management. Over seven years as Senior Director of Talent Acquisition, Cure helped scale the company’s hiring infrastructure across business lines and geographies. He modernized recruitment technologies, embedded diversity into the hiring fabric, and drove internal mobility efforts that created stronger career pathways. His efforts did not just fill roles; they shaped a more connected, future-ready organization.

Today, Cure serves as Head of Talent Acquisition at Republic Airways, where the stakes and scope are as high as the skies. Leading the airline’s recruitment during a time of transformation, he is redefining how talent is sourced, selected, and scaled. From pilot hiring to technical and operational recruitment, he ensures that every hire supports Republic Airways’ mission of connecting people and communities through safe, reliable air travel. His focus remains on building a function that is agile, inclusive, and built for the long term.

What ties all these roles together is more than just experience. It is Cure’s approach. He treats talent as a strategic lever, not simply a support function. His work is grounded in data, informed by culture, and executed with discipline. He partners closely with HR, operations, finance, and executive leadership to ensure that recruitment is not only aligned with business goals but also enhances them.

Beyond the boardroom, Cure remains deeply committed to mentoring emerging talent professionals and advancing conversations around workforce innovation. His leadership style, marked by transparency, accountability, and trust, creates environments where teams thrive and individuals are empowered to do their best work.

Whether launching a new market, navigating global expansion, or future-proofing a hiring function, Kevin Cure brings a rare blend of foresight, operational acumen, and heart. His story is not just one of roles held or industries served. It is about the belief that the right people, in the right roles, at the right time, can transform companies. And he has spent over two decades making that transformation a reality.
