Sumeet Salwan is the founder of FulcrumQ. Connecting Talent to Value™, the core IP behind his work, defines the handful of decisions — roles, structures and talent moves — that, give CEO’s, CHRO’s and investors a repeatable system to move their strategy faster. The framework draws on three decades of his operating experience in geographies and industries, across both corporate and PE. Sumeet has partnered with more than a 100 CEOs navigating the gap between strategic ambition and organizational readiness to help them pivot their businesses and deliver strategy. He is equally passionate about re-inventing human capital practices with innovation hungry talent leaders and CHRO’s by reimagining talent solutions around value creation rather than process management. He has continuously sought to disrupt traditional thinking around human capital and bring an entrepreneurial, commercial edge to his talent work. Sumeet spent the first 20 years of his career at Unilever, in roles spanning India, Netherlands, UK and Singapore. In his final role with Unilever, he moved to the US as their Head of HR. He then served as CHRO for the Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Medical device company. Beyond his corporate experience, he has worked with PE portfolio companies across 20+ PE funds globally, aligning talent architectures and organization readiness with the investment theses. Sumeet is a member of the Forbes Business Council and a contributor to IMD Business School’s thought leadership platform. Formerly he has served on the advisory boards of Lee Hecht Harrison, HRPS (SHRM Executive Network), and SVPGlobal , a $25B AUM global investment firm. His social impact work includes board service at Enactus US and Sakhi for South Asian Survivors, focused on gender justice.
