The C-suite is dreaming big. Aggressive growth targets. Market expansion. Bold innovation bets.

But here’s the uncomfortable question: Is the People strategy rising to meet that ambition… or quietly operating at last year’s altitude?

Too often, HR leaders are fighting for a seat at the table while the CEO and CFO are making high-stakes decisions about the future of the business. The result? Vision without activation. Aspiration without infrastructure. Strategy without the people engine to power it.

This Leadership EXchange is designed to change that.

We’ll explore how HR leaders can strengthen the strategic partnership between People and Finance, translate human capital into bottom-line impact, and elevate the People function into a true executive force multiplier.

These are some of the things we’ll be discussing:

• Aligning HR and CFO Priorities - How do we move from “HR as cost center” to “HR as capital allocator”?
• Elevating People Strategy to Match CEO Ambition - If the CEO is thinking in billions, is the People strategy thinking in breakthrough?
• HR as a Strategic Business Driver - What does it actually look like for HR to shape revenue, margin, and enterprise value?

This will not be a theoretical conversation. It will be candid. Tactical. Peer-to-peer.

If we don’t elevate the People function, the company’s biggest ambitions stall out. If we do elevate it, HR becomes the operating system behind execution.

Join us as we redefine what it means to lead from the People seat and unlock HR as the strategic powerhouse the business actually needs.

What to Expect

This is not a panel. Not a presentation. Not passive listening.

This is a practitioner-only Leadership EXchange designed exclusively for internal HR & People leaders who are in the arena every day.

In one focused, high-impact evening, you’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with local peers navigating the same executive pressures, financial scrutiny, growth mandates, and culture realities that you are. Through facilitated, structured conversations, we’ll move quickly past surface-level networking and into real dialogue, real tension, and real breakthroughs.

You can expect:

• Curated seating aligned to your role, organization stage, and strategic priorities
• Guided discussion prompts that unlock honest, executive-level conversation
• Tactical insights pulled directly from the field, not theory

And yes, we’ll do all of this over a complimentary dinner and drinks.

As we enjoy great food and hospitality, generously supported by HiBob, we’ll lean into the conversations that actually matter. The ones that sharpen your thinking. Expand your perspective. And send you back to your organization stronger, clearer, and more strategically armed than when you arrived.

This is peer-to-peer leadership at its best.

Who Should Attend

This complimentary Leadership EXchange is curated for senior, internal leaders in HR and Finance at global organizations with 50 to 2,500 employees. No vendors. No consultants. Just operators in the work.

We are highly intentional about who gets a seat to ensure the room stays peer-level, candid, and strategically powerful. Space is limited, and all registrations are reviewed by the Achieve Engagement team before confirmation is sent.

If you don’t fit this profile perfectly but feel called to be part of the conversation, we still encourage you to register. If additional seating becomes available, we will follow up directly with a confirmation.

Let's Raise the People Function - Together

The future of your organization will not be decided by strategy alone, but by how powerfully People and Finance align to execute it.

Let’s raise the ambition of the People function to match the ambition of the business and build the kind of partnership that turns vision into results.

We look forward to building that future together.
