Adriana Roche
Ex-CPO @ Mural

“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."

David Landman
Ex-Global Head of Talent, Goldman Sachs

“Reflecting on an incredible week at the inaugural CPOHQ Elevate Conference in Los Angeles! The CPOHQ + Knoetic AI team brought together an extraordinary group of Chief People Officers, all united by a shared mission: to elevate our craft and each other through the power of community. [...]

Above all, it was amazing to be surrounded by so many kind and generous people. I left with deeper relationships, new friends and a heart ❤️ full of joy. Thank you Joseph Quan, Jeff Diana and the entire CPOHQ + Knoetic AI team for bringing us together for this special moment of connection and collaboration."

Jess Yuen
Ex-CPO @ Couchbase

“Just came back from CPOHQ's Elevate 2024 in LA, and still feeling the glow of the event! From the thought provoking discussions to the incredible people, it was a feast for the curious. I was also honored to provide 1-1 exec coaching sessions throughout the event [...]

A huge shout-out to Joseph Quan, Jeff Diana, and the CPOHQ + Knoetic AI team for curating such a fabulous group of people and content."

Heather Dunn
Chief People Officer @ Brex

“As I settle back in at home in San Francisco, I'm still riding the energy of the last two days at the CPOHQ Elevate 2024 conference. [...]

I've been to a lot of conferences over the years, and I must say - this was the best one yet ⭐

A giant thanks to Joseph Quan and the CPOHQ + Knoetic AI team who absolutely crushed it. Where is the sign up for next year? I'm ready to buy the first ticket! 🎟️"

Richard Ni
Ex-CPO @ Scale AI

“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. [..]

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 :)"

Jessica Swank
Chief People Officer @ Box

“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!"
