Pearl Meyer, an executive compensation consulting and leadership advisory firm, has appointed Emily Daughters as its new Chief People Officer as the company continues to invest in growth, collaboration, and a high-performance workplace culture.
Daughters brings nearly two decades of experience in human resources, talent strategy, and organizational development, primarily within professional services organizations. In her new role, she will oversee Pearl Meyer’s global people strategy and HR operations, with a focus on attracting, developing, engaging, and retaining talent while strengthening employee experience and professional development initiatives.
“Emily is an accomplished, people-focused leader who understands that culture, leadership, and business performance are closely connected,” said Pearl Meyer CEO Jayson Traxler. “We believe the strongest organizations align leadership, talent, and rewards around a clear strategy. Emily’s experience developing people and helping firms grow will strengthen the collaborative, high-performance culture where our colleagues can do their best work and deliver exceptional results for clients.”

Daughters previously served as Chief People Officer at global management consulting firm Roland Berger, where she led initiatives spanning talent, culture, and organizational development. Her career began in the legal sector, and she has since worked closely with business leaders to build people strategies that support organizational growth, employee development, and long-term performance.
At Pearl Meyer, Daughters will partner with the leadership team to further strengthen the firm’s culture and align its workforce strategy with broader business objectives. Her appointment comes as the company seeks to support continued growth while maintaining an environment that encourages collaboration and innovation.
“The best work happens when people feel supported, heard, and connected to a shared purpose,” Daughters said. “I am excited to build on Pearl Meyer‘s strong culture, create opportunities for colleagues to grow, and help our teams remain creative, resilient, and focused on clients. I also believe fun and levity are serious business—a team that enjoys working together is ultimately more connected and effective.”
Daughters succeeds former Chief Human Resources Officer Kathy Baron, who recently retired.
