Speaker Bio, Kristi Rible
Kristi Rible is the Founder and CEO of The Huuman Group™, a leadership and coaching consultancy focused on human-centered leadership in the age of AI. She works with executives, teams, and organizations navigating rapid change to strengthen trust, communication, and decision-making—so performance remains strong without sacrificing wellbeing or integrity.
Kristi brings 20+ years of international leadership experience across Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia, along with a multidisciplinary approach that bridges business strategy, social sciences, and human behavior. Her work is grounded in the belief that lasting outcomes require strong human foundations, especially as AI reshapes how decisions are made and how work gets done. She is known for balancing warmth and depth with directness—translating complex ideas into language and practices leaders can use immediately.
Kristi’s work sits at the intersection of three themes: redefining leadership in the age of AI; elevating the realities and voices of mothers and caregivers who lead, work, and care; and building organizational cultures of care where equity, productivity, and engagement can coexist. She teaches at Stanford University, where she leads Motherhood & Work: Challenges and Opportunities for Positive Change, and she is a mother of two teenage daughters.
Kristi is an ICF-credentialed executive coach and holds an MBA in International Business from Thunderbird/ASU and a BA from Franklin & Marshall College. Her additional executive education includes Organizational Gender Balance (INSEAD), Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (Cornell), Executive Coaching (UC Berkeley), and training in the Fair Play Method (Eve Rodsky).
“Leadership doesn’t happen in isolation.
When we design work that accounts for care, context, and real human lives, leaders and organizations perform better”
