ASIA HR SUMMIT 2017
About
**Asia HR Summit 2017**, presented by **Sprout Solutions**, with Elite Sponsorship by **JLL** and **Regus**.
Are you ready for the boardroom?
Despite climbing a long way up the value chain, HR continues to be thought as a “soft function” at many companies – fine for carrying out strategic decisions but less so for making them. It is time for HR to finally be seen as a key asset to the organization rather than just another cost of doing business.
Hear senior HR leaders tell how they broke through the ceiling to became key members of top management.
The event features the most prominent HR leaders of the nation:
> **Joey Briones** (EVP-HR, Concepcion Industrial) - WINNER of Top Employer of the Year at Asia CEO Awards
> **Yahmin Mattison** (Chief HR Officer, Sun Life) - WINNER of the Employer of the Year by PMAP
> **Maria Ampeloquio** (Chief People Officer, SPi Global) - oversees global HR of the IT-BPO leader
> **Kalpak Huddar** (Asia Pacific HR Head, Sitel) – oversees regional HR for one of the world’s largest CRM companies
