Our Story

CPO – Forum for Chief Payroll Officers and Corporate Payroll Leaders is a dedicated forum for senior payroll professionals navigating the demands of executive leadership. Created by PayrollOrg, this space is designed for Chief Payroll Officers and corporate payroll leaders who are shaping strategy, driving compliance, and elevating payroll’s role within organizations.

Born from the success of PayrollOrg’s Executive Summits in 2024 and 2025, CPO was created to continue the conversations that matter most to executives—conversations about leadership, innovation, influence, and the future of payroll. These Summits made it clear: payroll leaders need a place to connect with peers at their level, share experience, and gain insight on emerging business and workforce challenges.

As a forum, CPO brings together expert voices, in-depth content, and a growing network of professionals who lead payroll at the highest levels. It’s where complex issues are tackled with real-world perspective—and where payroll executives can exchange ideas, solutions, and support.

Through CPO, and the new leadership group within The Payroll Community (launching soon), PayrollOrg is committed to advancing strategic payroll leadership in corporations across the U.S. and around the world.

Whether you’re managing transformation, advising the C-suite, or building the future of your team, CPO is your space to stay informed, stay connected, and lead with impact.
