About
What does it take to build leadership excellence across one of the most recognized brands in the world?
In this Leadership Insights with CHROs salonLisa Chang—Executive Vice President and Global Chief People Officer of The Coca-Cola Company—shares how she architects enterprise-wide people strategy to drive leadership excellence across a truly global organization.
Since joining Coca-Cola in 2019, Lisa has led the company’s worldwide HR strategy across geographies and business units, aligning leadership development, organizational design, and culture with the company’s long-term growth ambitions and purpose to refresh the world and make a difference.
Drawing on decades of executive leadership across global brands—including Equifax, Turner Broadcasting, The Weather Channel, and AMB Group—Lisa will discuss how today’s most effective CHROs shape far more than talent strategy. They influence enterprise performance, guide transformation, and partner closely with CEOs and boards to build organizations that can thrive amid constant change.
Together, we will explore what it takes to build leadership excellence at scale, how boards increasingly evaluate people strategy as a driver of enterprise value, and how global organizations intentionally design cultures that sustain performance.
This conversation is designed for senior executives and board directors who want to understand how people strategy becomes business strategy—and how leadership excellence is built deliberately across complex global enterprises.
