We’ve all been there. Trying to get your leadership team to take action before it’s too late. Doing your best to explain the severity of a situation. Working tirelessly to get sign-off on proactive solutions as opposed to waiting until you’re called in for damage control. Only to get shot down each time.

No one likes having to scramble to fix an issue you knew was coming months ago. And no one likes having their expertise dismissed at every turn.

Tune in for a discussion with Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer at Ethena), David Hanrahan (Chief People Officer at Flare), and Anthony Onesto (Chief People Officer at Suzy) on how to shift the dynamics between HRBPs and their leadership teams.
