Let’s work on work … together.
I'm Rebecca Warren — a talent acquisition expert, workforce strategist, customer champion, AI-fluent thought leader with a POV. I've built work from scratch, rebuilt work that wasn't working, and keep asking “why” and “what” and “how” along the way. Whether the work needs designing or disrupting, I’m ready.
Hi. I'm Rebecca. 👋
I took improv classes once. The first rule is "Yes, AND" - you never shut down what someone brings to the scene, you build on it. As it turns out, that's how I've always worked. Before I knew it had a name, I was already living it.
I notice patterns. I find the gaps - or they find me. My roles were never just the job description….they were always the job description AND.
I’ve spent over two decades working across talent acquisition, customer success, and workforce transformation - spanning CPG, telecom, agri-business, retail, restaurants, fitness, beauty, and tech. Different industries, same thread: show up, find the gap, build the thing, move to the next one.
This last chapter: the first customer success hire at an AI-native startup with zero CS background. Then a newly created talent transformation team figuring out the value-added work as we went along. The Talent Table - a webinar series that I turned into something entirely my own.
What’s next
After 5.5 years inside Eightfold AI, one of the most innovative companies in the talent space, I noticed a pattern kept emerging. In conversations with clients, with prospective organizations, with our internal teams, and with industry leaders trying to figure out what AI actually meant for their organizations - folks kept asking: okay, but how do we actually do this?
I’ve discovered that I absolutely love that question! Not just the what, but the how. Not just the strategy, but the work of building it with people until it becomes real.
So that's what I'm looking to do. I want to work alongside organizations who are ready to move - walking through the hard problems together, thinking about AI as a capability partner rather than a project, and figuring out what the work actually needs to look like from here.
It’s a wild world out there, and there’s a growing list of challenges worth addressing and problems worth solving. I am HERE for it - and here for YOU.
If that sounds like a conversation worth having, let’s talk!
Outside of the worky-work
I love spending time with family and friends, exploring in my FJ (never a j***!), writing and facilitating murder mysteries, bike rides and hikes, house projects, cooking, and travel. Building community and giving back has always been a way of life.
I don't have all the answers. I'm suspicious of people who think they do. What I have is curiosity that doesn't quit, experience in more areas than most people expect, opinions on just about everything, and an unending enthusiasm for finding the better way through.
I prefer the road less traveled. Always have. There's usually better scenery, and way more interesting problems to solve out there.
Follow me on LinkedIn for the ideas still in progress, the questions worth asking, and the occasional spicy take that makes you go “hmmmmm”.
