“CPOHQ gets me data-driven benchmarks and actionable advice. I love this curated environment of truly caring peers - it makes me a better CPO.”
"I walk away from every CPOHQ event with actionable tools & strategies that immediately drive business results."
CEO @ Knoetic & CPOHQ
We built CPOHQ because there’s incredible power in bringing together 1000s of the world’s leading Chief People Officers to share their insights, templates, and playbooks.
CPOHQ helps answer questions like: What are the top companies in our industry doing? Are others implementing RIFs? What’s the playbook for companies post RIF? What’s the annualized attrition rate for companies in my industry? Who has built winning playbooks for hybrid work or remote work?
The community first launched in March 2020, when the role of the CPO had never been more difficult. Today, the network has grown to 2,500+ top-tier CPOs - and we’re incredibly grateful that we’ve maintained the spirit of giving, intellectual curiosity, and continuous improvement the entire time.
We’re incredibly proud of how quickly this network has risen, and the good news is: we’re just getting started :)

Here's what they have to say!
"What an incredible inaugural CPOHQ Elevate! Huge thanks to Joseph Quan and the CPOHQ team for creating such a truly special and impactful event! The focus on driving business value, breakthrough innovation, and cultivating authentic community and connection was outstanding! Looking forward to 2025!"
"Walking away from CPOHQ Elevate Conference in high spirits and with renewed 🔥 as a people leader! It is obvious how much careful curation went into setting up the content and community—every session was packed with challenging perspectives that sparked new ideas and grew my ambition for our teams.
Huge shoutout to Joseph Quan& team and the broader CPOHQ community for making this a truly worthwhile experience. Let’s keep pushing forward! 🚀"
"Recently I had the pleasure attending a CPO Conference that could not be beat. I have learned so much about what is coming for People Experts and how we can be strong business partners. Thank you so much to CPOHQ and Joseph Quan for the best People Conference I have been to."
"Just spent a few days at CPOHQ Elevate Conference led by Joseph Quan and team and had a fantastic time. It's clear the Knoetic organizing team asked themselves "how can we do something different and raise the bar?" at every turn.
Head of HR is one of the loneliest roles out there. Building a strong network of peers is one of the best things you can do, not only to learn from others, but also for emotional wellbeing and sanity.
The Knoetic team has done a fantastic job of fostering a great community for sharing stories and answering questions - any aspiring folks in the People space should keep an eye out :)"
"This week was a wonderful reminder of how energizing and inspiring it is to connect with new peers and industry leaders. I had an amazing experience at the CPOHQ Elevate Summit, listening to experts share their insights and personal stories. A huge shout-out to Joseph Quan and the entire CPOHQ team for curating such a remarkable lineup of speakers and engaging topics in a beautiful setting. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic event!"
"Just got back from the CPOHQ Elevate Conference, and let me tell you – it wasn’t your typical hotel ballroom experience. Try a mansion on a hill, where the views and insights were equally breathtaking. 🎢
Between raw fireside chats (yes, actual fireside!) and keynotes that left my brain doing somersaults, I was reminded of why we, as people leaders, are both innovation’s favorite catalysts and the human equivalent of a weighted blanket. 🌟🔥
So, cheers to intimate networking, deep conversations, and the realization that sometimes, being a sherpa of calm and stability means also climbing the mountain yourself. 🏔️🧗"
"Had such an amazing time attending the CPOHQ elevate summit! So many learnings and great conversations exchanged with other CPOs who have been in the trenches and seen it all. Shoutout to Joseph Q. + team for building this community and planning such a memorable inaugural event."
"I’m feeling inspired and refreshed after the inaugural CPOHQ Elevate Summit this week! Connecting with a group of remarkable CPOs, CEOs, and Board Members on engaging topics, through storytelling and dynamic discussions, was truly amazing."
