"What CEOs Want from CHROs & HR” with Jennifer Wilson and Brad Warga

How are CEO expectations for CHROs changing?

Why are more CEOs looking for CHROs with non-HR backgrounds?

My guests on this episode are Jennifer Wilson and Brad Warga, Partners and Global Co-Heads of the Human Resources Officers Practice at Heidrick & Struggles

During our conversation Jennifer, Brad and I discuss:

  • Why CEOs are rethinking what great HR leadership looks like.
  • Why CEOs are prioritizing candidates from strategy, finance, and other non-HR backgrounds.
  • The growing expectation for CHROs to lead enterprise-wide AI strategies
  • The widening gap between CHROs and their succession-ready direct reports
  • Practical and actionable career advice for aspiring CHROs
