Wilton & Bain partners Sam Wallace and Chloe Watts share their insights on the evolving CHRO role in Hunt Scanlon Media’s HR/Diversity Recruiting Special Issue.
Sam Wallace shares her view that the CHRO has become a critical part of business strategy, and that the right appointment can have a dramatic impact on an organisation’s success. She also describes AI as a valuable tool for HR, provided leaders collaborate closely with technology teams to ensure ethical, compliant use.
Sam specialises in executive hires for data, AI and analytics roles. She’s known for helping companies find transformative talent while also supporting leadership diversity. Sam is the US chair of SWiTCH, a founding member of CHIEF, and an invited and active member of Forbes Business Council.
Chloe Watts, who co-leads Wilton & Bain’s people and culture practice and also co-chairs SWiTCH, shares that the best HR leaders are business leaders first: driven by people data and skilled at guiding organisations through change with empathy and commercial focus. Chloe highlights AI adoption, skills gaps and performance as the key pressures facing HR today.
