How to find Chief People Officers at companies scaling their teams

Chief People Officers and Heads of People at scaling companies are under pressure to build teams faster than the infrastructure exists to support them. The best ones think in public about how they are solving it.

That public thinking is a direct signal of what tools, practices, and partners they are evaluating. A CPO who posts about hiring process, onboarding, or culture building is telling you exactly where they have active problems.
