NYC Executive Dinner, Sep. 2025
We pride ourselves on keeping our dinners small and intimate. But this event proved that even at scale, with 40+ executives from across industries, the conversation can still feel deeply connecting and real. The energy in the room was effervescent, as one participant described it, proof that when leaders gather in the right way, scale doesn’t dilute the human connection.
You curate exceptional evenings. I am always struck by the balance between familiar faces and leaders I meet for the first time, each bringing relevant, and authentic contributions. Thank you for a wonderful gathering.

Detroit CHRO Dinner, Aug. 2025
The Detroit CHRO dinner was another powerful reminder of the opportunity we all have to spark positive change, not just for individuals, but for our companies, our employees and the communities we serve. A few insights: 1. Human connection is our most powerful tool 2. Angst is measurable and it’s quietly undermining performance 3. Agency is a catalyst: “Your choice, your opportunity” 4. We don’t have a job scarcity problem, we have a skills gap 5. We need a strategic vision grounded in a more immediate time horizon
Thank you for hosting a great evening. I came home feeling inspired and already talked to my team about some of the key topics from last night. Given everything going on in the world and for our profession, we definitely need more discussions like the one we had. So thank you!

Atlanta CHRO Dinner, Feb. 2025
The conversation centered on the challenges facing employees today and the opportunities we have as employers to address them, including: - The value of financial education and providing bespoke options to employees to meet their financial needs, including through direct and immediate access to wages - The importance of proactive mental health care, enabling people to address potential problems before they escalate - Breaking cycles of debt by helping employees navigate and pay off their student loans and plan for college expenses for the next generation
These meetings provide immense value to us as HR practitioners—not only as a source of learning but also as a way to collectively shape the future of work. It’s great for me to see how these conversations drive meaningful change.

"I'm grateful to be part of such an incredible community of CHROs and thought leaders in the people-leader space. These dinners aren’t just conversations—they’re opportunities to stretch, challenge, and grow as a CHRO, surrounded by peers who are willing to share openly and think boldly about the future of work. Each gathering leaves me sharper, more reflective, and more energized to lead with impact.”
