About

An inspirational HR and HCM leader and strategist for top technology companies, Pat Wadors currently serves as Chief People Officer (CPO) of UKG, a global powerhouse of HR, payroll and workforce management solutions that is known for its award-winning culture. In this role, she oversees the critical HR functions that bring UKG’s employee experience to life, including talent acquisition and development, compensation and benefits, employee listening and people analytics, HR technology, People Operations, and Workplace Services.

More About Pat Wadors

Before joining UKG, Pat was CPO at Procore Technologies, leading the company through expansive growth and Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) at ServiceNow, overseeing global employee resources and talent and helping the company scale. She has held multiple HR leadership positions in the tech world, with tenures at LinkedIn, Plantronics, Twitter, Align Technologies and Yahoo! Pat is a current board member of Accolade, Inc. and Moloco, Inc., and past board member of UKG, Zenefits, El Camino Hospital, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara County, where she also served as Chair.

A thought leader in HR, Pat has had numerous articles published in The Harvard Business Review. She is a multiple recipient of the National Diversity Council’s “Top 50 Women in Technology” award and the creator of the DIBs (Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging) framework, which champions employee belonging as the key driver of recruitment, engagement, satisfaction and retention. Pat also developed a signature “Scorecard” for developing agile, relevant, and authentic leaders—an approach that anyone can use to live their values, achieve their goals, and become the leader of their own personal and professional lives. An evocative and inspiring speaker, Pat has spoken to audiences around the world, including LinkedIn, The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Association of Talent Development (ATD), the Boston Consulting Group, Forbes Power Women’s Summit and Talent Connect.

A self-identified “Mom to three Millennials,” “introvert in a leadership role” (who tirelessly works to embrace the quieter voices), and dyslexic who learned to embrace her neurodiversity, Pat’s empathy, authenticity, insights, and talent for storytelling make her a standout speaker. Whether she’s talking hard numbers and analytics or sharing her own personal journey, Pat’s talks challenge the mind and touch the heart, while providing actionable expertise on every aspect of HR, leadership, and personal and professional development.
