In this episode of People + Strategy , we sit down with Jamie Durling , regional Chief People Officer for luxury goods organizations such as Dolce & Gabbana and Moncler. Durling challenges the idea that HR is still earning its seat at the table. Instead, he argues that the opportunity lies in how HR leaders use that seat to orchestrate strategy, operations, and financial performance - especially through the critical CFO partnership. Grounded in both personal reflection and real-world application, he shares how HR can balance creativity with discipline, use data beyond HR to drive productivity, and tailor operations for true revenue success. To hear more from Durling, register for SHRM26 , where he’ll be speaking at the executive session HR Executive Insights: Architecting the Future of the Global Workforce .
