Episode 207: Harnessing HR for People, Equity and Change: Nadia Strone, Chief People Officer at Euromonitor International
Description
Nadia explores how aligning personal values with organisational purpose can transform engagement, drive impact, and create meaningful work. Nadia shares her experience supporting organisations through change, showing how connecting people to purpose shifts mindsets from ‘I have to’ to ‘I want to’.
Nadia highlights the role of technology and AI in augmenting human capability, freeing people to focus on deeper, more meaningful work, and explains how access to education underpins both her own values and Euromonitor’s social responsibility agenda. Nadia outlines her approach to equity and inclusion, emphasising continuous measurement and recalibration.
Nadia’s one wish for HR leaders – to pause, take a step back, and provide thoughtful, strategic support – Nadia offers a powerful reminder of how HR can drive long-term positive impact.
