Are CHROs the next generation of CEOs?
The Leadership landscape is evolving and fast.
Today’s CHROs are no longer just people Leaders.
They’re strategic visionaries, business partners and culture architects driving transformation at the board level.
At Wits Acumen, we’ve observed a defining shift:
The CHRO’s role is steadily moving from the backroom to the boardroom - where business, strategy and people converge.
In a world where adaptability defines Leadership, CHROs who understand talent, technology and transformation are emerging as the next big contenders for the CEO’s chair.
Our Perspective:
Leadership is no longer about hierarchy, it’s about human insight.
And CHROs have that edge.
