Chief People Officer Pathways report 2022
Following the success of our analysis of the most common pathway to CFO released last year, Eton Bridge Partners is delighted to share the findings of research into over 1,000 Chief People Officers who were appointed in the UK between 2019 to 2021. We hope that the statistics, analysis and conclusions in this report are useful to our C-suite network, as well as to aspiring CPOs when considering their career planning decisions.
We believe there are two key audiences for whom the findings of this report will be of particular interest:
- Aspiring Chief People Officers
- Companies looking to hire a new Chief People Officer or develop a talent pipeline to the Chief People Officer position over the longer term
Eton Bridge Partners has collaborated with the leading global data company BoardEx, which specialise in relationship mapping and intelligence, to analyse some core data on the profile of CPOs and their career pathway.

Ultimately, we managed to secure a great candidate from Eton Bridge. She is an individual with huge potential, terrific technical capability and is a first-class cultural fit for the business. I was delighted with the hire, as was the senior leadership team. Going to a specialist search player has added significant value. I’ve enjoyed working with the Eton Bridge team and look forward to working with them again.
Robin Mills Group HR DirectorI would not have been able to achieve the transformational change needed in HR without the support and partnership of the team at Eton Bridge. The mandate given was to source high calibre HR Directors for both business-facing and centre of excellence roles in the UK and EMEA. They have become considerable assets for the business.
Amanda Baldwin VP Human ResourcesI’ve worked with Eton Bridge as a client on a number of assignments and would highly recommend them. They put the time in to understand business culture, providing a well thought out shortlist of candidates often including those who may on paper not look like the right fit.
