Will Ingham is a three-time Chief People Officer and organizational transformation advisor who helps CEOs and CHROs redesign their organizations for the age of intelligence and carry their people through the change. Through WeWillTransform, he advises a small number of leaders at a time, and occasionally steps in to lead directly as a fractional or interim Chief People Officer.
Over more than two decades, Will has served as the senior-most people leader through some of the most complex moments a company can face: acquisition, integration, IPO, and enterprise transformation. As Chief HR Officer for Visa Europe, he rebuilt the people and culture organization across 37 countries and led the talent integration following Visa Inc.’s $24B acquisition of Visa Europe, navigating the Bank of England and the European Commission, a period in which Visa’s market capitalization grew from roughly $180B to $460B. He went on to serve as Chief People Officer at Poshmark through its post-IPO chapter, and at OURO, where he integrated three payments companies into a single operating model and built the leadership team and global functions from the ground up. His earlier career was built at Gap, Clorox, and Oracle.
Will advises SemperVirens Venture Capital, Eightfold.ai, and Hoogly, and serves on the board of The RealReal Foundation. He completed executive education in Artificial Intelligence and Strategy at MIT Sloan and CSAIL, holds a B.Sc. in Communications and Psychology from Evangel University, and studied at Western University in London, Ontario. He contributed to The Rise of HR: Wisdom from 73 Thought Leaders, edited by Dave Ulrich, William Schiemann, and Libby Sartain, and is the author of the forthcoming book Culture: The A$$es, the Alchemists, and AI. A frequent speaker at business and talent conferences, and a Canadian, British, and American citizen, Will lives in San Francisco.
