Local Directories of Interim Chief People Officers

At Digital Reference, we’re building the most trusted destination for professionals to showcase their work, earn references, and connect with opportunities—all powered by radical transparency and authenticity. As the future of work continues to evolve, we’re seeing a major rise in fractional executives, particularly in the field of Human Resources.

Fractional Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) are emerging as flexible, strategic partners for companies that need senior HR leadership but don’t yet require—or can’t yet support—a full-time executive. Whether it’s shaping culture, leading a transformation, or strengthening DEI initiatives, these part-time HR leaders are showing up with impact.

To help you find the right talent or get inspired by industry leaders, we’ve curated a growing list of local directories and market roundups that feature independent fractional CHROs and HR-focused agencies. Explore by location and find the professionals who are making things happen in your city—or in the cities where your business is growing.
