Celebrating HR Leadership: R7 Fifty Southeast Asia 2026

26 October 2026, Singapore

The R7 Fifty Southeast Asia 2026 event brought together distinguished HR leaders from across Southeast Asia to celebrate their contributions to talent development, organisational performance, and the future of work.

Hosted by Rolling Arrays in partnership with ETHRWorld Southeast Asia, the evening recognised leaders whose work demonstrates the impact of effective people leadership.

Recognising Leaders Who Drive Business Impact

At the heart of R7 is a fundamental belief: talent is a strategic business asset. The R7 Framework, championed by Manu Khetan and informed by the research and insights of Professor Felix Oberholzer Gee of Harvard Business School, helps organisations connect talent decisions with measurable business outcomes.

The framework encourages organisations to look beyond traditional HR metrics and focus on the contribution of high performing talent in critical roles.

The evening also provided an opportunity for leaders to exchange perspectives, celebrate achievements and connect with peers shaping the future of HR across the region.

Rolling Arrays extends its congratulations to all the honourees and thanks ETHRWorld Southeast Asia, Professor Felix Oberholzer Gee, Manu Khetan, Sunesh Rodrigo, and everyone who contributed to making the event memorable.

Looking Ahead

The R7 Fifty initiative continues to champion a more outcome driven approach to talent strategy, helping organisations recognise how their people contribute to lasting business value.

Rolling Arrays looks forward to continuing these conversations with HR leaders across Southeast Asia.
