ELLEVUE, Wash. – SeekOut, the leading Talent Intelligence Platform, today welcomed two new members to its CHRO Council: Penny Stoker, who recently retired as Talent Leader for Executive Functions at EY and Ian Ziskin, President, EXec EXcel Group LLC. As part of the council, which serves as SeekOut’s Board of Advisors, Stoker and Ziskin will offer guidance to the company and its customers.
In her most recent role, Penny Stoker provides end-to-end talent support for functional leadership at EY. During her time there, Stoker established EY’s approach to People Experience, leading a cross-functional business network to put humans at the center of decisions, which drives simpler, more people-centric perspectives in internal processes.

A widely recognized and trusted advisor, Ian Ziskin’s global business leadership experience includes CHRO and other senior roles with three Fortune 100 corporations – Northrop Grumman, Qwest Communications and TRW. He is co-founder of the Consortium for Change (C4C), a community network of coaches and consultants; co-founder of the CHREATE Project, designed to address the future of work of HR; author or editor of four books; and an Adjunct Professor at the Binghamton University School of Management MBA program.
“We created the SeekOut CHRO Council to give our customers direct access to talent leaders like them, who know how to build strategies that promote workforce agility and organizational longevity,” said Bryce Winkelman, Chief Business and Revenue Officer at SeekOut. “With decades of practical experience between them, Penny and Ian know firsthand what it takes to navigate a dynamic landscape, a perfect complement to our existing members.”
