OUR STORY

Founded by experience.
Driven by purpose.

HR & CQ EDGE was founded by Sarah Brooks and Emma Jordaan, two industry leaders with decades of combined experience in HR, leadership development, organisational strategy and cultural transformation.

​

We created this community to provide a space where senior professionals can step away from the day-to-day, connect with peers, gain fresh perspectives and drive meaningful impact in their organisations.
