About

As organisations navigate disruption, hybrid working, and the rise of AI, the CHRO’s influence has never been more critical, yet many HR leaders still find themselves on the periphery of key strategic decisions. This session explores how HR can move beyond “pay and rations” to become true drivers of business performance and cultural transformation.

Danielle Harmer, Chief People Officer at Aviva Plc, joins us to share her perspective on how HR leaders can elevate their impact, shape organisational strategy, and demonstrate measurable value at board level. Drawing on her extensive experience leading people transformation at Aviva and Metro Bank, Danielle will discuss how to connect the people agenda directly to commercial outcomes and avoid getting lost in the noise of the “next new thing” in HR.

We’ll explore why the CHRO must lead, not follow, when it comes to culture, capability, and the employee revolution.

This lunch will kindly be hosted by the team at Pinsent Masons and the conversation will be expertly chaired by the dynamic Catherine Lynch, Chief People Officer, Mobico Group Plc.
