In an era of profound disruption, the CHRO is no longer a back-office operator—they are now a front-line architect of business transformation. Join Jason Averbook, Mercer’s Global Leader for Digital HR Strategy, in a powerful conversation with Adam Holton, CHRO of GE HealthCare, and Patricia Frost, Chief People and Places Officer at Seagate Technology, as they explore the rapidly shifting role of HR leadership in the age of AI. This panel will dive into what it truly means to lead with an "AI-first"mindset, how HR is being reimagined as a strategic driver of value, and whether the traditional HR function—as we know it—will even exist in the future.

Holton and Frost bring uniquely transformative perspectives, grounded in their military backgrounds and decades of business leadership, to tackle pressing questions about the CHRO's evolving playbook. From reshaping talent strategies using predictive insights to embedding ethical AI across the enterprise, these leaders will share how they’re actively building future-proof cultures, capabilities, and operating models. Together, they’ll unpack how the CHRO of 2030 must think—and act—very differently: as a digital strategist, culture catalyst, and AI translator. This session is a must for HR and business leaders looking to understand what’s next and how to lead through it.
