What happens when nearly 150 leadership positions need to be filled simultaneously due to a wave of retirements? For Ernesto Gómez, former VP of Human Capital at Grupo Alpha and CHRO at Sigma Alimentos, this wasn't a hypothetical scenario—it was the challenge that defined his career transition from business leader to HR innovator.
Ernesto shares how he approached this daunting succession planning challenge by reframing it as an innovation problem rather than a traditional HR issue. With no formal HR background but extensive business leadership experience, he crafted a comprehensive talent development strategy involving partnerships with elite universities including Wharton, Stanford, Chicago Booth, London Business School, and MIT.
Whether you're facing your own succession challenges or simply looking to elevate your talent development approach, Ernesto's practical wisdom offers a masterclass in innovative human capital management. His journey demonstrates that sometimes the most effective HR solutions come from leaders who bring fresh perspectives from outside traditional HR pathways.
