About Kristi Rible
As founder and CEO of The Huuman Group™, Kristi is dedicated to “humanizing the workplace” by building caring leaders for thriving cultures. The future of work and AI will depend upon values driven leaders who prioritize cultures of care; supportive teams that are rooted in psychological safety, emotional intelligence, connection, and low systemic stress —all keys to unlocking the power of diversity and innovation. Through partnership systems based on mutual trust and respect, curiosity and connection, and a drive to learn, Kristi and her team help organizations build engaged leaders and inspired teams that are fully "human" --rooted in care, trust, connection, and belonging --where the integration of work+life is valued not demeaned. Kristi’s previous two decades of management and leadership experience in the areas of technology, CPG, and non-profit/social impact, has had her living and working throughout Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe and the US. As a result of these leadership roles and life experiences, she is especially attuned to understanding the importance of cultural identity and life stories and at effectively leading and coaching across cultures, geographies, and difference. She is a thinker & a doer who approaches all things from a multidisciplinary perspective stemming from her background that spans business strategy, social sciences, technology, human behavior, and intercultural dynamics. She is also a vocal advocate, international speaker, and educator in support of the advancement of working mothers, women, and caregivers. As a mother who has faced the motherhood penalty head on, as well as having a gap on her resume due to caregiving responsibilities, she advocates for workplace change. She currently teaches a course at Stanford titled Motherhood & Work, Challenges and Opportunities for Change and created a film titled “Global Mothers, Global Daughters”.

An anthropologist at heart, Kristi is a firm believer that everyone should experience time amongst a culture or community other than one’s own. Only then is perspective undeniable and empathy achievable.
