LumApps CPO: Co-Create HR Strategy With Business Leaders

Alice Desbouvrie, Chief People Officer at LumApps, built her HR career through consulting and high-growth tech scale-ups before focusing on employee engagement and organizational design. In an HR Daily Advisor interview, she said the most important lesson from her career is that HR strategies fail when built in isolation. Involving business leaders from the start, she argued, produces faster and more effective execution. She also called on HR teams to carve out dedicated time for innovation, including AI adoption and modern workplace models. Her advice to early-career HR professionals: develop a business mindset, understand unit economics, and solve operational problems through human capital rather than pitching standalone HR initiatives.
