CHROs — The Newest Tech Leader in the C-Suite
As AI reshapes the enterprise, the role of the CHRO is undergoing a fundamental shift from people leader to enterprise technology strategist. In this session, Valerie will share how CHROs are uniquely positioned to lead responsible AI adoption by integrating governance, compliance, and workforce strategy into a unified operating model. Drawing on her experience building one of healthcare’s first AI-powered HR ecosystems at Empower Pharmacy and scaling global compliance at Tesla, she will outline how forward-thinking organizations are embedding ethical AI, risk oversight, and human judgment directly into business transformation. This conversation challenges the traditional boundaries of HR and reframes the CHRO as a critical architect of enterprise technology transformation built on human-centered governance and AI-enabled workforce development.
