Chief People Officer (CPO)

The Chief People Officer owns the talent agenda: hiring, organisation design, compensation philosophy, US labour-law compliance, and the culture that allows a foreign company to compete for American talent. For companies entering the US, the CPO is often the difference between a US team that retains its best people and one that loses them in the first two years.

Pact & Partners recruits CPOs for foreign companies setting up US operations. Our candidates have led people functions for US subsidiaries before — they understand the regulatory complexity of multi-state employment, the cultural translation work that headquarters often underestimates, and how to design compensation that competes in the US market without breaking the parent company's global framework.
