KRISTI RIBLE - SPEAKER BIO
Kristi Rible is the Founder and CEO of The Huuman Group™, a leadership and coaching consultancy redefining leadership in the age of AI. Her work focuses on developing human-centered leaders and cultures of care where empathy, trust, and curiosity—core human skills—are recognized as essential to organizational success.
With a multidisciplinary approach that bridges business strategy, social sciences, human behavior, and cross-cultural leadership, Kristi partners with executives and teams to build sustainable, equitable workplaces that support both performance and well-being. Her two decades of international experience across Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia shape her global perspective and inform her commitment to systemic change.
Kristi’s work centers on three intersecting themes: redefining leadership in the age of AI, elevating the voices of mothers and caregivers who lead, work, and care, and building organizational cultures of care that make equity, productivity, and engagement possible. She also teaches at Stanford University, where she leads the course Motherhood & Work: Challenges and Opportunities for Positive Change, and is a mother of two teenage daughters.
Kristi is an ICF certified executive coach and also holds an MBA in International Business from Thunderbird/ASU and a BA in African Studies and Classical Archaeology from Franklin & Marshall College.
