"As a Chief People Officer, being part of the Triangle CHRO Association has been incredibly rewarding—both professionally and personally. TCHROA offers a trusted space to connect with peers, share ideas, and gain insights into the challenges and opportunities we’re all navigating. I especially value the opportunity to hear from outside experts who bring fresh perspectives and deep expertise on timely topics. Whether I’m looking for perspective on a complex issue or simply want to discuss current events in the evolving HR landscape, this group consistently delivers. Christiaan and Donna lead with authenticity and purpose, creating an environment where real connections and meaningful conversations thrive. Every meeting leaves me with valuable takeaways, new connections, and a renewed sense of the HR community in the Triangle."
Tina Krebs
Chief People Officer
"I’ve been very fortunate to be part of the Triangle CHRO Association. Christiaan and Donna have been great stewards of this group, and at each quarterly meeting, I can always count on having great discussions on relevant, timely HR-related topics. I’ve also had the opportunity to build my network of local peers, and experienced the power of their collective networks as they helped me to connect with the right people or learn about the right job opportunities while I was recently in a job transition. I really value being part of the TCHROA community!"

HR Leader & Executiave Director for Lenovo CloT
"The TCHROA association has been a wonderful learning and networking opportunity for me. I am a global HR leader for my company, but not the CHRO...this role is based in out Boston Headquarters. The THCROA provides a local opportunity for me to see, hear from, and learn with the top HR Leaders in the Triangle. Several leaders have been terrific mentors to me, as well. I invariably walk away from each meeting with a new professional colleague/ friendship, an idea or two that I can ponder and an action to try.”
Christie Knittel Mabry, Ed.D., BCC
HR Leader for Global Quality and Regulatory CMC
"The greatest benefit I have found with the TCHROA is community with my fellow senior HR leaders. This peer community is active and engages on an ongoing basis and ready to support one another through good times and bad. The networking, knowledge sharing, and learning from our collective experience is extremely valuable. And although we are from different organizations and industries, we have found that we have much more in common than different, and much to learn from and share with each other, for the broader community, and the Triangle Area.
