On this episode of Pathfinders, Pete Schramm sits down with Zuzel Prieto, a globally seasoned HR executive and co-founder of the People Advisory Group. With a career spanning continents, industries, and executive teams, Zuzel brings a powerful perspective on the value of career mapping, mentorship, and embracing the uncomfortable moments that drive real growth.

Starting with a chalkboard and an imaginary classroom, Zuzel’s passion for teaching evolved into a purpose-driven career in HR; one rooted in developing people and driving organizational effectiveness. From her early days in labor relations at Liz Claiborne to leading complex global HR initiatives at Ralph Lauren, she’s seen the power of pairing people strategy with business goals firsthand.

In this episode, Zuzel and Pete unpack two cornerstone concepts of professional development: the Career Map and the Personal Board of Advisors. Zuzel shares how these tools helped shape her own path, from shifting out of accounting into HR, to stepping into international leadership roles, sometimes by choice, sometimes by surprise. Her story reinforces a powerful message: growth often starts when we say “yes” to the unknown.

They dive deep into the importance of foundational HR experience (union environments, retail roles), the criticality of mentorship across functions, and how leaders can help their teams spot and seize career-defining opportunities.

Whether you’re navigating M&A transitions, considering an overseas assignment, or building out mentorship programs at scale, Zuzel shares candid, practical insights that are as relevant for HR pros as they are for business leaders.

Today, Zuzel is helping organizations of all sizes with end-to-end people strategy, from onboarding to succession planning, through the People Advisory Group. Her advice? Stay open. Stay curious. And surround yourself with trusted advisors who challenge and champion you at every stage of your journey.

This is an episode full of real talk, relatable lessons, and a few global travel stories for good measure. For anyone mapping out what’s next, Zuzel’s story is a masterclass in leading with heart, strategy, and a global mindset.
