a trusted community for multinational cpos to solve big people challenges, elevate leadership, & build future-ready organisations 

great companies grow with great cpos

the challenge

Global hq sets people & culture targets without local insight

Talent is harder to attract, keep & grow

Skills driven by ai & new tech are changing faster than your org can keep up

Disruption keeps coming & your people look to you to steady the ship

Finance firefighting crowding out enterprise impact

You are expected to build future-ready work cultures across markets & teams

Big expectations on performance, smaller budgets & leaner teams

to solve these challenges, we built abundium’s multinational cpo growth ecosystem — australia's only cross-industry forum designed exclusively for local people leaders of global companies

what our cpos think

"The Abundium community has given me practical tools and peer insights I could apply immediately,  driving growth while streamlining compliance, strengthening alignment with HQ, and elevating finance’s role in strategy. Beyond frameworks and case studies, the coaching and community helped me shift from firefighting to influencing,  gaining visibility earlier in decision-making and positioning finance as a true growth driver. I would recommend the forum to any CFO wanting to expand their impact and deliver greater enterprise value."

Linda LinFinance Director, Pacific, LexisNexis

"It was such a great session, to brainstorm and hear practical relevant case studies plus seek advice from peers at the same level."

Nicole van DykeHRD, Coca Cola

"What a great networking and learning opportunity provided by Abundium at the HRD Summit. Wonderful content - engaging speakers and la delight to be in a room of like minded HR professionals. Thank you for allowing us to share our stories, solve our problems and take positive action items back to our roles."

Jennifer PurcellCPO APAC, Encore

"Networking and spending time with other HRDs really helps crowdsource solutions, validate what we’re already doing well and inspire us to hear things others are doing differently that we might not have even thought of! Super valuable session, look forward to the next one!"

Eleanor CliffordSenior Director People & Organisation, Novo Nordisk

"The mix of face to face HRD sessions, HR team opportunities, Masterclasses and the online platform brings slot of value to HR. The HRD lunches are a great networking opportunity."

Jill EdwardsGeneral Manager People & Culture (Former), ORIX
