RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. – Today, VSP Vision™ announced its Chief Human Resources Officer, Kristi Cappelletti-Matthews, has been named to the 2025 N2Growth Leaders40 Top CHRO List for the fifth consecutive year. Curated by N2Growth, a global leader in executive search and leadership advisory, this award honors the leaders shaping careers, culture, and talent at the world’s most innovative, people-driven companies.
Each year, the N2Growth selection committee evaluates thousands of nominations, interviews hundreds of executives, and ultimately selects 40 CHROs who represent the standard of excellence in human capital management.
"Being named to the 2025 Leaders40 Top CHRO list is an incredible honor that I share with my entire HR team at VSP Vision, whose partnership and dedication has been instrumental as we navigate rapid growth," said VSP Vision Chief Human Resource Officer, Kristi Cappelletti-Matthews. "In a time when the HR profession is evolving at an extraordinary pace, this recognition is especially meaningful."
First launched on Forbes in 2015 by N2Growth Founder Mike Myatt, the Top CHRO List quickly became one of the most respected and anticipated rankings in the human resources profession. In 2020, N2Growth partnered with the Stanford Graduate School of Business to formalize the list as the Leaders40 Award. Since then, N2Growth has been pleased to issue the preeminent industry recognition of the leading CHROs globally.
"As the profession evolves, the CHRO role is rapidly transforming," said Tony Morales, Co-Chairman of N2Growth and head of the Leaders40 Selection Committee. "This year’s honorees embody the qualities that define great people-leadership today: innovation, strategic perspective, courage, and unwavering commitment to advancing both people and performance. We are proud to celebrate these executives as they represent the benchmark for excellence in HR leadership today."
