Ingrid Duvall is the fictional chief human resources officer of Veldrissen Components, a family-controlled precision-component group headquartered in Ghent. The company operates five plants in Belgium, France and Poland and recorded 2,800 employees in 2025. Ingrid leads forty-eight people-function colleagues through five direct reports, with EUR 9.8 million of delegated function expenditure for 2026. Those responsibilities are separate from company-wide employee costs and the technical authority held by operating leaders.
Her thirty-three-year career began at the fictional Ornfeld Motion in personnel administration. She moved into plant advice before joining Veldrissen Components in employee relations, later taking group responsibility for reward and organisation. She became CHRO in January 2020. Her work examines how factory decisions affect the people expected to carry them out, including the practical consequences that a central proposal can overlook.
Her proposed talks address meaningful employee engagement, recruitment-driven pay compression, work-relevant selection and job design around automation. The examples include a decision she had to revise, additional costs and matters that remained unresolved. She has presented to a remuneration committee as an executive but holds no board appointment.
