Joseph Ilarraza
Founder
I bring 15+ years of experience within the talent development space across the private, public, and non-profit sectors. I’ve held various leadership roles where I’ve established and led multiple teams, advised top executives, and effectively collaborated with board members. This experience has honed my ability to connect with and develop leaders at all levels within an organization, from entry-level employees starting their careers to C-suite executives responsible for leading the company.
I found Talent Advantage, LLC. in 2016 after consulting on a few initiatives and realizing there was an opportunity to put my passion into practice by providing boutique consulting within the talent development space. I chose to specialize in the areas of career and professional development, management and leadership development, coaching, employee engagement, and onboarding initiatives.

About
Me
I grew up in the tranquil suburbs of Puerto Rico and then moved to the bustling city of New York at a young age. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the world and the way people behave, particularly what drives individuals to succeed in various environments. I have been lucky to blend my personal and professional passions. In my spare time, I relish traveling, tackling home improvement projects, spending time with my loved ones, and volunteering in underprivileged communities.
