JvR Africa Group returns as 2024 HR Indaba Gold Partner

During an attention-grabbing panel discussion at the 2026 Executive Day, Paul Norman, group CHRO at MTN, and Celiwe Ross, group chief human capital and corporate affairs officer at Old Mutual, put the CEO role under the executive microscope, unpacking the green flags, red flags and everything in between that can make or break the C-suite dynamic.

Before CHROs ask the enterprise to lead humans and AI together, HR must become the demonstration project.
