Collaborative. Curious. Insightful.

Tom Penque, Chief Talent Officer 

As Chief Talent Officer of Definitive Healthcare, Tom leads transformative change across the organization by creating a company culture that nurtures talent and provides employees with training and growth opportunities.

Tom is an accomplished HR leader, business executive, and communications expert. He has 25 years of experience overseeing big data organizations and finding solutions that elevate company performance and deliver measurable value through its people.

Prior to joining Definitive Healthcare, Tom served as head of talent management at Homesite Insurance. Previously, he served as a chief human resource officer at Havas Media, and as a VP of marketing at Digitas.

Tom holds an undergraduate degree in Accounting from Boston College and an MBA from Babson College.

When Tom is not recruiting the best people into Definitive Healthcare and helping them grow their careers, you can find him jet-setting around the world. Tom and his partner both enjoy traveling—they’ve even toured all 50 US states. If they aren’t journeying around, they’re enjoying time on Cape Cod with their dog, Pumpkin. Tom is an avid runner and cook, though rarely at the same time. At work, Tom also serves as Definitive Healthcare’s resident stand-up comic.
