May 11, 2023



​ALEXANDRIA, Va., – SHRM has announced Jyoti Chopra will be joining its Executive Council effective May 11, 2023.

The Executive Council, which is made up of the world's top CHROs, luminaries and academics—guides cutting-edge research, drives meaningful membership initiatives and provides insights on emerging business strategies.  It explores the most pressing issues facing the workplace and societies of tomorrow, providing the SHRM Executive Network with collective guidance on emerging strategies that impact business performance.

She is responsible for leading Human Resources and Social Impact and Sustainability. She oversees environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, directs enterprise-wide human and social capital initiatives and serves as liaison to the Board of Directors' corporate social responsibility committee. She oversees the MGM Resorts Foundation and community relations.

"At a time when the conversation around sustainability has been more prevalent than ever, I can't think of an individual more fitting to join the SHRM Executive Council than Jyoti," said Johnny C. Taylor Jr., SHRM-SCP, President and CEO, SHRM. "Her guidance and expertise are highly valued as HR executives work to navigate today's pressing issues."

Prior to her role at MGM Resorts, she was Senior Vice President of Global Diversity & Inclusion and HR Operations and Transformation at Pearson Plc., an education technology and UK FTSE 100 company, where she was a member of the senior and human resources leadership teams.

Earlier in her career, Chopra served as Chief Diversity Officer and Managing Director of Global Citizenship and Sustainability for BNY Mellon as well as the global leader for communications and public relations at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and as a Managing Director at Merrill Lynch & Co.
