Partner, Head of HR Services
HR leader with startup and enterprise experience, Rebecca builds strong teams and people-first practices that scale
Rebecca brings deep experience in building people-first organizations from the earliest startup stages to global scale. She’s worked across the full HR spectrum, helping teams grow intentionally, lead effectively, and stay aligned as they scale. Her approach is grounded, strategic, and built around real-world experience.
Before joining BrightIron, Rebecca spent nearly a decade at BlackBerry, most recently as Senior Director, Global Talent Development & HR Business Partner. She supported senior executives and members of the C-suite, helping them grow high-performing teams and navigate complex organizational change. She also led global programs focused on employee and leadership development, onboarding, performance, DE&I, and internal communications. Earlier in her career, Rebecca was the first HR leader at fast-growing startups like TextNow (formerly Enflick) and Miovision, where she built the people function from scratch and helped guide each company through periods of rapid growth. Her passion for startups continues through mentorship and advisory work, helping founders shape the HR strategies that support long-term success.
Outside of work, you’ll find Rebecca (or “Bec”) at the barn, training and competing in hunter-jumper equestrian competitions or hanging out with her ever-growing family of canines.
