Christopher Shryock

Based outside of Chicago, Illinois, I work for Medline, a multibillion-dollar medical products company, as chief human resources officer where I am focused on strengthening culture, managing talent, and scaling our organization of more than 43,000 employees. Prior to Medline, I was the chief people officer for Sam's Club, a division of Walmart, and spent nearly 14 years at PepsiCo in a variety of global HR leadership roles in Texas, Switzerland, Russia, New York, and the United Arab Emirates. Earlier in my career, I worked for Cendant Corporation, a large real estate and travel services organization, and for E. Rogers Associates, a management consulting firm. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and a master's degree in industrial/organizational psychology from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
