hello there!

yes! absolutely an HR professional can become the CEO of a company. If he/she is open to learning the business and looking at things with broader perspectives.

The HR department is responsible for the following activities:

  • Creating development, orientation and training programs
  • Overseeing employee compensation and benefits
  • Handling the recruitment, selection, and promotion of workforce
  • Allocating employees and managing the human resources available

Common knowledge points to people from other major domains like marketing or sales, finance and production being the obvious choices for HRs to take CEO positions in companies.

Whereas, people from the HR domain are concerned with human management and operational work most of the time. Hence, it becomes quite difficult for them to understand the strategic viewpoint in which the CEOs need to think for taking various decisions. A decision like diversifying and selling parts of the businesses is important in any CEO’s life.

i hope this helps

goodluck!
