It’s becoming more and more common to see large enterprises move internal business leaders from outside of HR into the CHRO role. The arguments for doing so vary but typically focus on the knowledge of the business that a long-tenured internal leader brings to the function.

Join us for a special CHO Group session featuring a conversation with Wei-Li Chong, President of KinderCare, and Kristi McFarland, Co-President of New Seasons Market, about their respective transitions from HR to operating leadership.
