Christine is Head of People & Growth Operations at Concord, where she's on a mission to make global mobility radically less painful for startups.

She knows the problem first-hand: as Head of People at Tracksuit, she joined as employee number twelve and scaled the team to 200+ across New Zealand, the US, Australia and the UK, through Seed to Series B. She became a Concord customer along the way, and liked the product so much she joined the company!

Before Tracksuit, she supported Crimson Education through rapid international expansion. If visas keep you up at night, connect with Christine during the summit.

The people function has been rebuilt twice in a decade, from back-office HR to people operations, and AI is now rewriting the workflow again. The tools and the expectations have raced ahead of what most people leaders were trained for.

Georgia Kelaher hosts five leaders who each see a different part of the modern people stack: pay, the core HR platform, performance, hiring, and global talent. They'll name what has changed in their patch, where people leaders are getting caught out, and what to build now to lead through the future of the role they're all seeing come to life in front of them.

What you'll leave with:

1. A clear read on where the people function has actually landed, and which parts of the workflow have genuinely shifted rather than just been re-badged.
2. An honest account of where the role has outgrown the people leading it, including mistakes the panel has watched play out first hand.
3. A short list of what to build, learn or let go of over the next two years, practical enough to act on the week after the summit.
