Kristi Rible

Founder & CEO, Executive Coach

With more than 20 years of global executive leadership, strategic advisory, and executive coaching experience across technology, consumer products, and emerging markets, Kristi Rible partners with leaders and organizations navigating complex change. Her work focuses on strategic growth, leadership development, human skills, and building workplaces where performance and care can coexist.

Having led and managed dispersed teams across the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, Kristi brings a nuanced understanding of the interplay between individual leadership capacity, team dynamics, organizational systems, and cultural context. She helps leaders think systemically — addressing not only personal effectiveness, but the structural and cultural forces that shape engagement, equity, and sustainable performance.

Her international experience living and working across multiple regions has deeply informed her perspective on culture, power, and opportunity. A recognized advocate for women and caregivers in the workplace, she teaches at Stanford University, where she leads the course Motherhood & Work: Challenges and Opportunities for Positive Change, examining the data, history, and organizational shifts required to create more equitable and sustainable workplaces.

Kristi holds an MBA in International Business from Thunderbird School of Global Management and a BA in African Studies and Classical Archaeology from Franklin & Marshall College. She holds executive coaching credentials through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and advanced certifications in Executive Coaching (UC Berkeley), Organizational Gender Balance (INSEAD), Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (Cornell University), and The Fair Play Method™.

She is also a mother of two Gen Z daughters, an experience that continues to inform her work at the intersection of leadership, caregiving, and the future of work.
