About the event
What does it really take for HR to be seen as a trusted voice—not just a functional expert, but a strategic partner with influence across the enterprise?
Join the HR Executive Roundtable for an intimate fireside chat with Julie Tschida Brown, Chief People and Culture Officer at Zayo Group, followed by an interactive Q&A designed to surface the questions HR leaders are often thinking—but rarely ask in public.
Drawing from her experience partnering closely with executive leadership teams, Julie will share candid insights on how HR leaders can:
Build credibility and trust with CEOs, executive peers, the Board, and investors
Strengthen influence laterally across functions—not just upward
Navigate moments when HR must challenge, not just support
